Sam’s cubicle
- 1. SAM’S CUBICLE GAYANE KARAPETIAN LEANNA WOLFE ANTHROPOLOGY 102 03/22/15
- 2. •THESE BOXES ARE WHAT SAM CONSIDERS HER MOST PRIZED POSSESSIONS. AS A CHILD SHE LOVED MARILYN MONROE, AND AS A RESULT SHE WAS GIFTED THESE BOXES. IN THESE BOXES SHE STORES HER JEWELRY, MOSTLY DIAMONDS. SHE FEELS SOME KIND OF BOND TOWARDS MARILYN MONROE AND HOLLYWOOD. SAM TELLS ME THAT IN HER PREVIOUS LIFE SHE WAS AN AMERICAN ACTRESS THAT HAD CONNECTIONS WITH MARILYN MONROE. SHE FEELS EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO THESE BOXES.
- 3. •THIS BOTTLE OF RED WINE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SAM. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN HER ROOM. I FINALLY GATHERED SOME COURAGE TO ASK HER WHY, AND SHE TELLS ME IT IS AN OBJECT OF MOTIVATION. HER PARENTS HAVE A SUCCESSFUL WINERY IN ARMENIA. SHE LOOKS AT IT FOR MOTIVATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT. IF HER PARENTS WERE ABLE TO DO IT THEN SHE COULD TOO.
- 4. •THIS PICTURE OF A SCRIPT REPRESENTS SAM’S PASSION FOR ACTING. NO MATTER WHAT THERE IS ALWAYS AT THE LEAST ONE SCRIPT LYING AROUND IN HER ROOM. SHE’S CONSTANTLY TRYING TO IMPROVE DIFFERENT METHODS. HER DREAM IS TO ONE DAY BE A SUCCESSFUL ACTRESS IN THE INDUSTRY AND SHARE HER TALENTS WITH THE WORLD. SAM IS AN EXTREMELY ARTISTIC HUMAN BEING FULL OF EMOTIONS. SHE IS VERY EXPRESSIVE WITH HER ACTIONS, ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE SOME KIND OF CREATIVE STATEMENT.
- 5. •SAM BEING AN EXTREMELY CREATIVE HUMAN BEING STORES EVERYTHING IMPORTANT TO HER IN THIS COMPUTER. SHE HAS OVER TEN THOUSAND PHOTOS AND SONGS STORED ON THIS DESKTOP. SHE LOVES TO MAKE MUSIC WHICH IS A LARGE PART OF HER CULTURAL BACKGROUND. MOST OF HER FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN MUSICIANS AND THE GIFT RUNS IN THE FAMILY. SHE ALSO WRITES STORIES ON THIS COMPUTER, YET ANOTHER WAY SHE IS ABLE TO EXPRESS HER EMOTIONS.
- 6. •IN THIS PHOTO WE SEE A COLLECTION OF DOC MARTENS AND CREEPERS. DOC MARTENS ARE A BRAND OF FOOTWEAR CREATED IN ENGLAND. SAM DESCRIBES THEM AS “THE COOLEST SHOE BRAND ON THE PLANET”. THEY’RE BASICALLY UGGS FOR HIPSTERS. SHOE’S HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN INTERESTING FACTOR IN SAM’S LIFE. WHENEVER SHE IS STRESSED SHE SHOPS FOR SHOES, IT IS HER KIND OF THERAPY. HR TASTE IN SHOES IS VERY DIVERSE, AND THAT IS THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT LIFE, THROUGH A DIVERSE PERSPECTIVE. SHE ALSO INHERITS SOME OF HER SHOES FROM HER MOTHER, FROM THE 90’S.
- 7. •PHOTOGRAPHS ARE VERY VALUABLE TO SAM. SHE LIKES TO CAPTURE THE GOOD TIMES IN HER LIFE ON PHOTOGRAPH. EVERY IMAGE SHE TAKES CONVEYS A MEANING. HER CAMERA LENS IS LIKE HER THIRD EYE. SHE IS ABLE TO ACQUIRE THINGS WITH A CAMERA THAT THE EYE CANNOT CATCH. IT IS ANOTHER WAY SHE IS ABLE TO EXPRESS HER PASSION AND LOVE FOR THE WORLD AROUND HER.
- 8. •THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SKETCH OF SAN FRANCISCO THAT SAM RECEIVED FROM A VERY HANDSOME CHINESE MAN. SHE KEEPS IT AS A REPRESENTATION OF A MEMORY OF HER FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD. SHE ALWAYS REMEMBERS THE BEAUTIFUL DIVEERSE CULTURE AND ALL THE NICE PEOPLE THAT BELONG TO THE CITY. SHE IS ALSO AN ART ENTHUSIAST.
- 9. •THIS FIGURE REPRESENTS SAM’S LOVE FOR DANCE. IT SITS ON HER BEDSIDE TABLE, AND HAS BEEN IN THE SAME POSITION FOR YEARS. SHE DESCRIBES DANCE AS A MANIPULATION OF MOVEMENT. SHE HAS MASTERED MANY DIFFERENT STYLES OF DANCE, HER BASE BEING BALLET WHICH IS OBVIOUS IN THE PICTURE. SHE COMES FROM A LINE OF DANCERS SO AS A CHILD SHE WAS FORCED TO TAKE DANCE CLASSES, UNTIL SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH FORM OF EXPRESSION.
- 10. •THIS PICTURE SYMBOLIZES SAM’S LOVE FOR THE MOVIE INDUSTRY, AND HER FASCINATION FOR AL CAPONE. WATCHING MOVIES IS THERAPY FOR HER. SHE REALLY IS ABLE TO ESCAPE INTO THE FILMS SHE WATCHES. SHE ALSO TRIES TO MASTER CERTAIN TECHNIQUES THE ACTORS USE.
- 11. •THIS PICTURE OF SAM’S ENCYCLOPEDIAS REPRESENTS HER AGGRESSIVE NEED FOR ORGANIZATION, AND HER LOVE FOR BOOKS. THIS IS JUST A SMALL PART OF HER EXTREMELY LARGE BOOK COLLECTION. THERE ARE OLD AND NEW BOOKS, BOOKS THAT SHE HAS INHERITED, AND BOOKS THAT SHE HAS FOUND. HER NEED FOR AN ORGANIZED BOOKSHELF IMMEDIATELY SHOWS YOU THAT SHE IS A VERY COORDINATED PERSON.
