On Longing...

The Body is the primary made of perceiving scale. I chose this picture because I associated it most strongly with the quote. It is a photo of my boyfriend, which I took while at the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. I took it from further away in order to show the scale of the cliff and rock formations around us, using his body as a scale. His body in this case is the primary source for the perception of the scale of the nature around us, without his body there it would seem less impressive.
