My Culture

My Culture

This poster is what I define as my culture. I define it as my culture because I was born and raised in Ireland for a few years of my life, then migrated to New Zealand. The Philippines represents the roots of my heritage. I have put in the National flowers of the Philippines and Ireland which are the shamrock/clover which represents luck and Sampaguita which represents many things like love and purity. I have also put in hobbies that I believe make me who I am, like singing, working out, and playing sports. This poster also presents parts of the culture like what they wear occasionally, animals native to the country, and foods native to their home country.

Finally, the house represents how all of these things create my special place called home.
