My name is Awa Diawara and I’m from the Bronx, NY. This is my second semester here at Baruch and I am majoring in digital communications & culture. I chose this photo of the Eiffel Tower as a piece of art. The reason being that I took it when I went to France back in 2014, and that was the first time that I had ever been out of the country. I stayed with my family for about a month and it was a good experience. I have a photo album of all the pictures I took when I went to France, and I always look backat it every so often. Since I haven’t been able to travel outside of the country because of the pandemic, looking through the album brings back a lot of memories. This picture represents me as being someone who loves to be out and about.
When I look at that picture, I’m reminded of everything I did that day, and how the weather felt. I remember it as a gloomy day and going to see the tower. We also saw the Arch de Triomphe. After that, we got food and took pictures of that. The photo also reminds me of my time in France and it consisted mainlyof visiting family and visiting tourist spots. This photo really resonates with me because it reminds me of traveling. Traveling is something I really enjoy doing, and it is something that nowadays I have to do with caution because of the pandemic. I hope that in the future, Iam able to do more traveling.
