Sense of Place

The Virginia outline represents my home state where I was born and raised. It represents that I am a part of a larger community that goes beyond my neighbors and backyard, but rather a region of people.

No matter where I live, I will always have that connection which I call my "hearth". In human geography, a cultural hearth is "where new ideas and innovations spark up and spread to other areas and parts of the world." Just like camping in a tent by the fire with your favorite peers, the hearth is where people come together.
