Culture is the sum of our sensory perception, human need, consumption, refuse, creativity and innovation.

…the scent of a strange flower, the exhaust off the street, the spice from a food vendor, the speedy rush of a rollercoaster ride, the pound of a waterfall, the freeze of an icy wind, the heat of the burning sun, the color of a winter sunset, the shape of a young squirrel, the texture of tile, the touch of exotic fabric, the glare off a skyscraper, the sound of glass breaking, the gasp of the crowd at a sports stadium, sweet frosting on a birthday cake, the splash of a canoe paddle, the deafening grind of the factory floor, the scrape of a palm tree frond, a starry sky seen from a mountaintop, a gesture of hope, the glare of neon lights, hot soup broth on a chilly day, the damp scent of an underground cave, the arid heat of a desert path, the tickle of new clothes…

Using our senses awakens our brains, helps us perceive, and builds awareness of culture that surrounds us.
