I remember for my first project as a volunteer to New York care, we had to organize the food distribution. But before we started we had to fix the “I love New York” shopping bags. The ‘ I love NY” logo is usually used to promote the New York State and its culture. The bag was white, the script was black and the love word was include into a red heart. Red heart represents love, attachment, passion. From here we could supposed that the goal of a charity organization like New York cares was to give something from the heart. It represented empathy for people who were going to receive the bags. It represented how we cared about them.It said that the person who use it, cared enough from the deeper part of his heart to offer food to somebody who was in real need, but also to put this food in a bag to help the person carry it to his/her house. I choose this object because it was original: I knew the “ I love NY” tee-shirt but i didn’t know “I love NY” bags existed., I also choose it because it was pretty and and significant. This object taught that it was used to carry and help to transfer necessarily things to people in important need by representing generosity and love.
