“Kitsch is the process by which the original meaning has been bled from a popular object or a combination of objects. The object generally originates from the past and a new meaning… is overlaid. The new meaning occurs when the original object has manipulate din some way or put into a new context. Kitsch depends upon the innate ability of the viewer to recognize the original object, despite whatever displacement may have been superimposed upon it.” –A. Skakoon
