Hello, my name is Josefina Lima Tufiño and I am a freshman at Baruch with an intended major in Computer Information Systems.
The piece of art that I chose is the film “101 Dalmatians” which came out in 1961. I grew up watching a lot of shows and movies with “101 Dalmations” being one of my favorites that I would watch almost every day. Even today I love to watch different genres of shows and films and I am always open to new suggestions. I would watch this film on VHS so there’s a lot of nostalgia for me thinking of when I would manually rewind it to see it every time as I tended to be lazy to do that when I last watched it. The family relationship in 101 dalmatians also resonated with me growing up, especially with the dalmatian puppies, as I grew up with many siblings so having a large family was something that I connected with. The music in the movie, especially with Roger being a musician, also was an important part as in my household there was also music. Seeing their house filled with music and instruments reminded me of my own. Therefore, “101 Dalmations” is a piece of art that I would choose to represent me as it encapsulates a nostalgic time in my life as both a film I enjoyed and as one that leads me to reminisce on what it was like watching this movie and the memories I made during that time.
