On Longing
“Nostalgia cannot be sustained without loss”
This photo is nostalgic because I cannot be young and go back to my younger self.
“The souvenir speaks to a context of origin through a language of longing”
This is a souvenir that shows through language I have a yoga certificate.
“The souvenir exists of a sample of a sample of the now
distance experience that only the object can evoke”
My parents and I were holding a souvenir/object that is now a distant
experience that only that object can evoke
the miniature that which can be enveloped by the body”
This is a souvenir of me as a baby and I had a miniature baby body.
“The plate of origin must remain unavailable in order for desire to be generated”
I no longer can go back because this is the past and they no longer do this in costa rica where i went.
