My object represents my family´s culture identity because my family is full of christians who believe in praying every morning with they wake up and every night before they go to sleep. Some memories I have of this object is praying with my grandmother when I was younger and understanding what she was saying. She says that for each bead on the rosary has a certain prayer that is said and you repeat the prayer 10 times. My family is from Cape Verde, a small island off the west coast of Africa. Religion plays a big role in the country, about 80% of the population is Catholic, 10% are Protestants. This object connects to the country and my family because it is a symbol of health and protection from all negative aspects.
