And the collection of these commercial objects creates the essence you present to the world as your delegation. — Levon Nurijanyan

When I buy a guitar, I want it to become a part of me, but it never can, but the only way I can truly have it is if I treat it as a separate fantasy that I can only observe. I can re-create it, but I’ll never want people who observe that beauty to attribute it to me - I am no part of it. I am its mere reflection. — Levon Nurijanyan
