Symbols, Objects
David Fontana: "As fragments of the physical world, objects are often imbued with special significance because they span the divide between the inexpressible inner reality that each individual builds up from instinct, intuition and experiences anbd the outer world of forms. The deepest symbolic meanings are held by objects that resonate with the preoccupations of people everywhere at all times - food, sex, conflict and the gods." (David Fontana, The secret language of symbols, p. 68).
