PERSONAL CREATIVE MAP Map: 1. Everyday life gestures: Through paying attention to my surroundings, what I can see, hear, read, perceive, and how that creates my experience and others experiences in my community 2. Looking for connections: What are the connections I can find between them, how I am related with it. 3. Research: How those connections reflect a specific part of the community I am interested in, what it resonates to me that inspire me to research. 4. Create a response and share

1. Everyday life gestures: Through paying attention to my surroundings, what I can see, hear, read, perceive, and how that creates my experience and others experiences in my community
In my neighborhood at least 80% of the construction workers are Latin, most of them undocumented and working in dangerous and unfair conditions
2. Looking for connections: What are the connections I can find between them, how I am related with it
I got interested in the waste the constructors produce while building or demolishing the houses, specifically in the energy invested in it through the cuts and changes on the materials
3. Research: How those connections reflect a specific part of the community I am interested in, and what it resonates to me that could inspire me to try to understand
