Foggy moments translated into some short last form of sense, 2018

Fog machine, nebulizer machine, and the smell of rain.

​

​​

Foggy moments translated into some short last form of sense is an immersive sensory installation that merges mist with the evocative scent of rain. This aroma holds a unique power: it conjures hazy, foggy memories, fleeting moments suspended between clarity and obscurity. The smell of rain universally unlocks personal recollections, transporting the mind to early childhood or distant places.

 

The installation invites visitors to enter an ephemeral space where memory and sensation intertwine. The surrounding mist mirrors the blurred, transient nature of recollection itself, reminding us that memory often arrives as a fleeting impression, delicate, elusive, yet deeply emotional.

​

Through this work, I explore how scent can give shape to moments otherwise intangible, brief yet profound fragments of experience that linger just beyond clear understanding.
