The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale
perception is different from when we were little. When I was little I percieved everything to be huge.
Capacity of objects to serve as traces of authentic experiences
When an artists develops or creates something, that is a true representation of their own personal experience, they put themselves, their heart, creativity into their piece.
The souvenir reduces the public the monumental and the three dimensional into the miniature, which can be enveloped by the body
Souvenirs are meant to be small. Souvenirs contain the same structure and shape only small scale.
Nostalgia cannot be sustained without laws
My older brother has a fear of heights due to a graduation from high school trip to cancun. He claims that a lucky penny that had his birth year had caused the plane to correct itself and not end up crashing. from now on he carries that penny on every flight he's been on.
To have a souvenir of the exotic is to possess both a specimen and a trophy
This reminds me of how the English kings used to treat opponents in war. Some kings placed heads on pikes as a sign of fear to the crown
The place of origin must remain unavailable in order for desire to be generated
The object we posses means so much to us that over time, we lose where we originally obtained the object
