I love the question, “How do these collections represent knowledge?” It is found that the more knowledge you know of a matter, the more responsibility you hold. This might be more if a personal thought. However, I believe it holds a lot of truth. In this reading, Graham states that he collected/gathered crystals, prayer flag scraps, old coins, etc… He later states that objects have their own language and dialects. I find that the collection of such objects provide this allusion to accepting the knowledge and appreciation of said culture or place. You are an advocate for what you witnessed, told through the objects. Objects definitely tell a story. A story about the culture history, about meaning, nature, art, etc... Most importantly, the object tells of your experience and connection. You would not have collected it, if it did not have some sort of value to you. They are a memory!
