Gold Japanese Cat
This gold Japanese cat known as Maneki Neko, or “Japanese Fortune Cat,” is
considered to be a cultural icon that originated in the 17th century. They are
not typically seen in the US save for in Asian businesses and, more commonly,
restaurants. Maneki Neko represents good luck, success, and prosperity.
Different colored cats each have different meanings. The gold Maneki Neko
represents immense wealth and prosperity. Students come to Tech to get a
good education, graduate with a Tech degree, and make a lot of money. Their
hopes of immense wealth and prosperity are materialized after they have
endured all of the academic challenges typical of Tech. This cat also represents
the many cultures and global traditions that create the melting pot of Georgia
Tech.
Grid Artwork
Each square is carefully calculated to fit with one another, each filled with a
myriad of thoughts. Art is a curiosity upon itself, telling something different
to each person, yet it’s a science at the same time. Which lines connect to one
another? What draws a person towards it? What changes one’s perspective?
All of these questions can be interpreted as artistic or as scientific; it all
depends upon you. Each one of us is a square that makes up another part of
the art known as Georgia Tech and what we appear as to others is constantly
different. They are ultimately the judges of our “art” but we are the deciding
factors in it, each one of us contributing something different and unique to this
masterpiece.
Ripped-Up Book
When people walk into a museum they are immediately attracted to their
interests. Whether it be historical artifacts or works of art, a person’s eye will
be caught by something unique, an item that makes a person question, “Why is
this here?” Cue: a torn up book. Tearing a book can be an outlet for students in
multiple ways. Many students at Tech have probably wanted to tear up a book
at some point in their career. However, being that books are so expensive, few
venture to actually do it. Well here is your chance. Go ahead and rip a page out
for all the times you wish you could have done it.
