"The body is the primary mode of receiving scale"

"The place fo origin must remain un-available in order for desire to be generated"





"To have a souvenir of the exotic, is to possess both a specimen and a trophy




"The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental, and the three dimensional into the miniature that which can be enveloped by the body"
