My pathos artifact is a sun/moon ring that my best friends (who are twins) gave to me. It reminds me of home and the feeling and emotion of the comfort I get when I am with them and at home. It appeals to many emotions because it reminds me of all the times I have with them which have been anywhere from crazy, to happy, to sad. However the juxtaposition of the moon and the sun/star make me feel balanced and calm and remind me to take note of how I am feeling. Additionally, it represents a friendship that means a lot to me and reminds me what it is to be a good friend and how that feels. It is representative of what my life was like before college and reminds me what I have been through and how I have come out on the other side. Also, It just makes me happy to see it and be reminded of my two most favorite people. It brings me back to how I met them and sustained a friendship through soccer, something that was also a huge part of my life. Thus it represents the competitiveness and mental and physical endurance that I went through not only by myself, but with my two best friends by my side.
The sun/moon/star juxtaposition also reminds me how different my two best friends are. Though they are twins, they are the most opposite people in the world and this reminds me to appreciate and cherish the uniqueness of everyone and to be aware of my feelings.
This ring reminds me to be who I am and not be afraid of how I am feeling but to embrace the strong emotional appeal brought on by all that it represents to me.
