My memento illustrates my memory of moving to Flagler College and St. Augustine. When moving to St, Augustine, I knew nobody and was coming to a city I had only visited once in my life. I felt lost, confused, and thought I wouldn't fit in. On the other hand, though, I was excited to start anew. I couldn't be the person I truly am without any preconceived notions of who I might be. Moving to Flagler and the experience of that memory made me the person that I am today.
My memento cube has 6 sides:
-Two of the side are burned, scraped and cut. The burning symbolizes the burning of my past as I move forward with my life. The cuts and scrapes represent all the bruises and things I had to endure to get to Flagler
-The string that covers the scraped and burned side represents the mending of my past
-On another side, I have collected brochures and pamphlets from the welcome center (the first place I visited in St. Augustine) and cut, weaved, and glued them together. I have little words throughout that represent my experience. "Pizzalley's" is the name of the first place I worked in St. Augustine. Flagler college is seen, as well as a lot of the street names around the area. The intertwining of the brochures represents the lost-like quality I had when I first got here.
-Another side has a hole cut out of it, and in the inside of my cube I have a wooden ball that just barely does not fit into the hole. This represents my trying to "fit in" when moving to a new place
-The last side of my cube has a cut-out arrows on a map that point to the place that me and my parents got lost when wandering the city
