Freedom to Express:
To depict “Freedom to Express,” I envision a vibrant, bustling city street during an art festival. Artists of all kinds line the sidewalks, each showcasing their unique talents. A muralist paints a large, colorful wall with abstract designs, while a musician plays soulful tunes on the corner. Poets recite their work to an engaged crowd, and dancers perform in the middle of the street, moving freely to the beat of drums. This scene captures the essence of self-expression, where creativity is unbound, and individuals feel empowered to share their innermost thoughts and emotions with the world.

Freedom to Explore:
“Freedom to Explore” could be illustrated through a narrative story of a young woman traveling solo across different landscapes. Starting in a dense, mysterious forest, she hikes through towering trees, discovering hidden waterfalls and rare wildlife. She then moves to a vast desert, riding a camel and marveling at the endless dunes. Her journey continues to snowy mountains, where she skis down pristine slopes and camps under a sky filled with the Northern Lights. Each environment she explores brings new challenges and wonders, symbolizing the limitless possibilities and the joy of discovering the unknown.

Freedom from Expectation:
For “Freedom from Expectation,” imagine a graphic design featuring a person standing at a crossroads with multiple paths branching out in different directions. Each path is marked with signs of societal expectations—career, family, education, and more. However, the individual is depicted stepping off the main road, walking confidently into an open field of wildflowers. Above them, the sky is clear and expansive, representing endless opportunities. This image signifies breaking free from the pressure of conforming to others’ expectations and choosing a path that feels true to oneself, embracing the freedom to live authentically.

I chose to make an octopus mural for my mother because she loves octopi.

Food Truck Idea: “Taco Tango”

So, Taco Tango is this cool food truck idea I have. Basically, it’s all about making tacos but with flavors from different parts of the world. You know, like combining Mexican food with other stuff. We’d have things like Korean BBQ tacos and Mediterranean falafel tacos. It’s like a dance of flavors, get it?

Design and Aesthetics:
The truck would look super colorful with big, bright paintings all over it. There’d be pictures of dancers from different countries, all holding tacos. The logo would be a dancing taco. It’s supposed to be fun and exciting so people notice us.

Menu:
The menu would have different kinds of tacos. Here’s some ideas:

1. Korean BBQ Beef Taco: Beef with kimchi slaw and spicy mayo.
2. Mediterranean Falafel Taco: Falafel with tzatziki sauce and pickled onions.
3. Indian Butter Chicken Taco: Chicken in creamy sauce with raita and cilantro.
4. Classic Carne Asada Taco: Steak with guacamole, pico de gallo, and lime.

We’d make the tortillas fresh and have gluten-free options too. For sides, we’d have stuff like street corn and churros. And for drinks, aguas frescas.

Sustainability Efforts:
We’d try to be eco-friendly by using packaging that doesn’t hurt the environment and buying from local farms. We’d also take part in community events to support local stuff.

I came up with the idea for Taco Tango during a late-night food craving session with my friends. We were talking about how cool it would be to have tacos with different international flavors. Someone mentioned how awesome it would be to have a Korean BBQ taco, and then we started thinking about other combinations, like Indian and Mediterranean. The idea of blending different cuisines into tacos seemed fun and unique. Plus, tacos are always a hit, so why not mix it up and make it even more exciting? That’s how Taco Tango was born—just friends brainstorming over food.
