Egyptian

Looking at memory and the future, i decided to bring in a photo of a recent tattoo that i had done. This photo is of an ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh and the definition of it is "eternal life". My tattoo both fit the requirements of being something from the present and also by definition, playing into the study topic. The film Blade Runner was almost based upon a cloned specie of people searching for the cure to eternal life. Whilst being useful in my study of memory, this symbol has been in my family for a very long time and so for me represents both past and present.
