Personal Response to Susan Stewart

The Body is the primary mode of perceiving scale

The scale give us our perceptions of objects in life.
In this picture the hand, appears larger than the tower. 
However in real life the viewer knows the tower is much 
larger than any hand.



Capacity of objects to serve as traces or authentic experience is in fact, exemplified by the souvenir. The souvenir distinguishes experiences.

The mask of Venice every time I see it has the ability
to remind me of the wonderful experience when I 
visited this place for the first time.



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

I don't have the habit of collecting miniatures but if it did 
I would love to do it with perfumes since each fragrance 
reminds me a moment special and different i.e. leads 
me to live past experiences just to smell them.


Nostalgia can not be sustained without loss

It is impossible to stop remembering 
my grandmother Carola and not to feel 
nostalgia.Have not had the fortune to 
enjoy it much as Grandma already died 
very young. 


To have a souvenir of the exotic is to posses both a specimen and a trophy

The souvenir in the form of snake I cant see it already 
that his image is associated with a negative experience that 
comes to mind.


The place of the origen must remain unavailable in order for desire to be generated

The bottle with sand of Punta Cana directly reminds 
me of the place to visit.
