This is a photo of Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Park, located in Anaheim, California. In photos, the castle looks grand and awe-inspiring. However, in person, the castle is quite small, especially compared to Walt Disney World's Cinderella Castle. You can't properly judge the scale of an object unless you see it in person.
The capacity of objects to serve as traces of authentic experience.
Objects have the ability to trigger memories of the past. For me, this stuffed animal brings back memories of the end of my senior year of high school.
The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental, and the 3D into the miniature, that which can be enveloped by the body.
This small charm is representative of a nearly 1000ft structure.
Nostalgia cannot be sustained without loss.
This ornament was given to me by my late grandfather, and it serves as a reminder of him and the memories we shared together.
To have a souvenir of the exotic is to possess both a specimen and a trophy
This shrunken head is representative of a culture that is very different from that of contemporary Western culture , and acts as a specimen from said culture. The shrunken heads were used as victory trophies by the Jivaro tribe of Ecuador.
