Jonna's 2D Tumblr

In this project, I chose to depict my Italian heritage using the colors red white and green. Which are, if not obvious, the colors on the Italian flag. My culture is a very important part of who I am, ever since I was little I was taught to eat like a big girl, cook like my mother and grandparents, as well as other Italian familial traditions. I was never taught Italian, the language, because none of my relatives who I was close with knew the language fluently. Instead, I wanted to make sure to travel the country and explore not only my Sicilian roots, but also every possible land i can cover in a vacation period of time. The use of color is not significant to me alone because hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people share the same heritage as me, but I think it is important to have pride in your culture and be knowledgable on its history. I hope you all enjoy this because it is a fun way of showing off pride through the flag itself, which waves across my face like a mask or a banner that I am and would always be proud to rock!
