Why this photo?! We have chosen a close-up portrait of Tina, because of the honesty she express in the photo. As soon as we asked if she was willing to participate in our assignment, she immediately started telling her life story with eager and enthusiasm. The photo represent her raw life experience filled with a lot of discrimination by the outside world. !

Minerva-model! Tina fits under the pink segment in the minerva-model. This segment is primarily people with low income, low prestige and with no further education. Tina have had trouble finding a job, because of her circumstances but her former job was working for the state in the healthcare working with people with dementia. This is also characteristic for the pink segment because they prioritize care and inner values. But she also have parts of the modern (blue segment), such as individuality and liberalism. Despite our characterization she is hard to place in a exact segment in the minervamodel, because of her onrushing persona and extreme opinions.
