Eulogy (Skull/Mask)

Jason Perez

Mi cráneo es para mi primo. Lo he hecho porque mi primo le gusta púrpura y azul. A ella le gustar flores. Puse flores en él .

2. Short Reflection

a. The person who passed away that i am representing is my Cousin (female) on my father’s side.

b. What this person meant to me was my little cousin. She was very young when she passed. She was 2 years old when she passed away 2 years ago from a terrible disease. All of my cousins are older then me and i don’t even have a relationship with most of them. I don’t have a relationship with anyone in my family outside my immediate family. That bothers me, so having a new cousin was a great opportunity for me to finally build a relationship with one of my family members and have a cousin where i can have fun and talk to. However that didn’t turn out, so i guess i can say that what this person meant to me was a new friend.

c. The reason i decided to do a sugar skull in his remembrance was because i thought it would be creative and different. I didn't want to do anything average or ”tacky”. Also, i thought it would be cool to do a sugar skull because the skull is made up of sugar obviously and my little cousin loved candy.

d. My sugar skull reflects my cousin because i designed it with features of things she liked. If you look at my skull you would notice that there is kind of a flower design around the eye socket. I did that because she loved playing with flowers and i also colored it purple with some blue lining because those were her favorite colors. .What better way to represent my lost loved one with one of the things she liked the most.

e. The way “día de los muertos” has opened my mind up to celebrating the passing of our loved ones is how different cultures and religions honor their lost. Me personally, my family just say a prayer and we eat and cook our lost ones favorite foods. It is actually cool how other races and cultures instead of mourning their lost ones they celebrate and honor. Overall. learning about “día de los muertos” has opened my mind up to different ways of celebrating my lost ones. From now on maybe i wont be sad that my cousin isn't around. This holiday has also opened my mind up to think that we should all be happy for a chance to live everyday and enjoy our days, because my cousin only had two years to live with a disease and i have had 15 long healthy years. So, that is one of the major things i take away from learning about this holiday and it opening my mind up.
