The Mat
fabric, glue, sponge
The sculpture explores a personal memory that I experienced when In gymnastics. In my memory I had a green and black leotard, and competed for around 8 years. The green and the black was to form the outfit that I had to wear, along with the sponge being the mats that were used in gymnastics.

"The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale"
I chose this photo because in cheer this body position is called a scale that flyers use in the air. Like we can use our bodies to create different scales to be visually creative.
"The place of origin must remain unavailable in order for desire to be generated"
Choosing this photo for this quote was because you can't find this sculpture anywhere else but its original spot for others to comprehend their own perspective and creates their own desire.
"The souvenir speaks to a context of origin through a language of longing for it is not an object arising out of need or use value"
This photo is a souvenir from Costa Rica. I got it from the original place, from it's original culture and their language they speak using art to express their own way of living making a valuable item.
"The souvenir reduces the public the monumental and three dimensional into the miniature that which can be enveloped by the body"
This picture is me drinking coffee. My body is acting like an envelope for the coffee. I am able to hold this coffee in a three dimensional cup that is smaller as if it was miniature for my hands to hold. Coffee is a world wide usage to change their mood in the morning. Many people go to public places to enjoy their coffee while working.
"To have a souvenir of the exotic is to possess both a specimen and a trophy"
This is a trophy I won in high school with my cheer team. It was an exotic year for us due to Covid-19. This trophy acts like a souvenir from the competition to show others.
