Symbols are physical manifestation that can signify the ideology of a particular culture or that merely has meaning within a culture. Through the ages, symbols have allowed us to  go beyond what is known or seen by creating linkages and allowed communication through the use of symbols. 

We are surrounded by symbols all our lives. Yet, the ones that have defined our existence could have been overlooked, undervalued and never understood by us. 

Delving into the symbols that represent my culture has allowed me to understand the nature and system of our beliefs and how it binds me to my society.  It’s also empowered me, guided me and brought me closer that I lacked.
