Curator’s note: Through these three artifacts that I created, I wanted to show a more complete picture of myself. I wanted to show that I’m somebody who is hardworking, patient, but also creative, and also showcase all the interests and skills that I have that make me unique. All of my artifacts vary in types. The video of my piano playing is mostly auditory, and it allows the audience to experience the musicality as well as the work that went into learning the piece that words or a picture can’t show as well. The pictures I took in Japan let the audience appreciate my creativity, but also my passion for photography,which I’ve developed over the years. And the essay I wrote about a life changing experience I had shows the reader both the hours I spent writing and editing the essay and also that I’m dedicated and caring and willing to adapt through storytelling, which would be hard to do with any other type of media. This portfolio has shown me that I really value putting dedication, time, and creativity into things that I do, especially when I’m passionate about them, which leads to new knowledge and achievements. It’s important that I remember to always give this effort into everything I do, such as writing.
