How can one truly answer the question "What it means to be human?" There is no possible way to fully answer the question, for being human is undefined. Therefore, in my portion of the paper quilt, I have attempted to offer an explanation to some of the characteristics that humans possess. Hopefully it is clear that it is divided in half, one side being more chaotic and abstract while the other is more geometric and orderly. From doing this project, I think that to be human is to possess an equality of both of these sides. Like the human brain, one side holds the vines of creativity, the part that lets our mind wander and be free, twisting and tangling in whichever way there is to grow. In contrast, the other half enables us to control and construct, bars our animal instincts, and organizes our vision. When the two sides are carefully balanced, that is when we find the answer to "What it means to be human?"
