I find the verticality and the narrative quality of Native American Totem Poles to be very inspiring. Using David Welch as inspiration as well as historical Totem Poles I have created the challenge of expressing some part of the student's identity through the medium of assemblage and photography. My totem assemblages mostly represent my family members which is an enormous part of my identity.
