This model is a photogrammetric representation of a small 4x5x2 Skiing Gnome, normally placed in a student’s room. It was processed through Agisoft Metashape and reduced in size for uploading. This model acts as a representation of family traditions and personal identity. For the student, it represents an annual skiing tradition that was established upon moving away from the state of Utah. It also represents the importance holding these traditions is to her as she navigates growing up in multiple hometowns around the country and around the world. Family traditions are a key aspect of familial culture that drive many social and political views today. As transportation and social media become increasingly accessible, they are vital in providing a foundation for identity. This Gnome model represents part of today’s culture along with various other objects that represent treasured traditions. Creator: Sophie Hildebrandt
