Assignment #5:

I had to create a memory map which was quite hard to do considering I've got over 19 years of my life to summarize in an 8 by 12 inch rectangle. I decided to not include dates nor words except for that one phrase which is what I base my life on. All the images are simple but represent something deeper. It is intended to be messy since my memories are not in a specific order.
