3、Analyze “Canadian Flag Mosaic” by Following Ideal Ego

　　In this article, I will analyze the image of “Canadian Flag Mosaic” through Freud’s opinion of the using of the ideal ego. In general, this image expresses a specific description of Canadians' identity that they are all as a whole union and live happily.
　　Freud's conclusion he functions as an ideal ego in his article that it is the clear mind that occurs in our mind to fight against impulsive desire (P 50). It is usually based on the awareness of the conscience of ourselves which might be caused by knowledge or rules. It could force us to avoid the “wrong” choice (P 51). According to Freud’s view, the understanding of the image could become a part to constitute the ideal ego (P 54).
　　At first, it is clear that Tim Van Horn’s “Canadian Flag Mosaic” is an image composed of several smaller pictures. Moreover, the constitution of those colorful pictures from a huge and legible the Canada flag. It represents the Canadians who constitute Canada, and Canada is based on Canada. Two of them are both important elements for each other. The simple ample leaf is in the center of the whole image, which is the critical symbol of Canada and Canada. It also shows that Canadians are proud of their identities as Canadian citizens.
　　The smaller images are the mug shots of the Canadian citizens roaring laughter. And the time of taking those photos is various. We can through those people's dressing shows they take pictures of the different seasons and also might be on behalf of different cities. Those two pieces of evidence how the people who lived in Canada were full of joviality and satisfaction no matter where and when. What’s more, the races of those people are disparate, which demonstrates Canada can include any race.
　　Usually, describing the Canadian is an abstract feeling, but Tim Van Horn uses the collection of Canadians’ pictures to create the image of the Canadian flag, which uses a specific image to express the ideal of Canadians living joyfully and felicity in Canada. And through the ideal ago, it provided a vision of the Canadians being proud of their identity.?
