"Per Aspera, Ad Astra"
This image is the cover for the record "The Dark Side of the Moon" from the world famous rock band, and one of my personal favorites, Pink Floyd. Often using many Gothic themes within their music, Pink Floyd has cemented themselves into a psychedelic persona. The single beam of light coming into contact with the prism is bent in a way to create the basic spectrum of light. I believe that this simple yet quite majestic emblem represents my writing process, as well as my life, very well. Imagine my writing skills before this class were that single stream of light, bland and boring. However, once it makes contacts with the prism (ENC 1101), it is shaped and configured into a beautiful ray of color. My writing has, and probably always will have, some sort of Gothic characteristics within it.
My motto underneath the image is a common Latin phrase that translates to "Through Hardships, to the Stars." Meaning, to achieve any goal one must always go through adversity.
