Context: identity and belonging

[friedchromosome]

Does anyone have any metaphors that they know of that would be good for context? I went to a lecture and apparently examiners feed on that sort of thing. For example a tree that involves the trunk being one's roots and the branches consisting of friends, family, values beliefs and etc. Any other metaphors would be appreciated!!!

I don't study identity and belonging but my friend does and they're using the metaphor of a rubix cube to comment on people's identities or something. Is that useful? Sorry I don't know much else ahah.
