1 Citrus
Concept: I did a basic wash before with orange juice before drawing, so there is a pale yellow color underneath the watercolor paint. I used bright orangish pink color to paint the contour of orange and light yellow of inside details.
Scent: orange
2 Out of the Box
Concept: For this project, we want to really make it "out of the box" not only physically, but also to think it more than the box. So we turned it into a mouth—a Pratt student's mouth. We used the scent and decorations that we think belong to a Pratt student's mouth.
Material: cardboard, clay, paint, a small magnifying class for observation
Sound: chewing, swallowing, restaurant noise
imitating the environment if we are inside the mouth.
Scent: tomato, smoke, toothpaste, coffee, lipstick
3 Protective Mask
Concept: I made this mask with rosemary. We saty at home more often than before, so we need some green and fresh to light our day.
Scent: rosemary
4 Aromatic Avatar
Concept: I used many tea bags and each had different flavors, because I don't think one or two flavors or objects can tell all about me. I have many different sides.
Scent: orange, vanilla, chamomile, peppermint, honey, lemon, etc., and tea, of course
5 Utopian Body
Concept: "Clothes Maketh the Man."
We brought our favorite clothes, the ones can represent us, or the ones that we wear most often.
Scent: smoke, burning sage/wood
6 Magic in Music 1
Concept: The music we chose is called "Ghost," and after listening to it, we want to create a video that resonates with the feelings we had and echoes the name of this music.
Sound: waves of ocean, Ghost
Scent: ocean, smoke, rose
7 Magic in Music 2
Concept: I imagined that I am in a bakery having breakfast. I had a cup of tea and a croissant.
Sound: water, glass cup, chewing, eating, swallowing, piano
Scent: vanilla, cinnamon, coffee
8 Poetry of Longing
Sound: wind, leaves, birds, bees, touching, walking, talking
The scene I tried to create is that two people in love are saying goodbye in a garden. The wind and fallen leaves add the tragic atmosphere to them.
Scent: light floral, dark woods, rose, body, heavy floral
9 Ritual Alter
Concept: Witches are not all bad. Salem witches actually follow a wide variety of peace, and they do not worship satan.
For my project, I made a witch hat with black and green fabric. The black part can cover their face and the green part means new life. Witches can wear the hat to replace their formal rituals.
Scent: smoke, resinous, heavy floral, dark woods, smoke (tincture), grapefruit
Besides the stereotipical scent we think of witches, such as smoke, dark woords, and resin, I also added floral and grapefruit to represent their youth of life, and they are as normal as other people.
10 Magic Potion
Concept: Because herbs are often used in magic, I chose to use rosemary as the vessel to hold my magic potion, and it also can be the magic potion itself.
I used a book to press the rosemary and left them there for a couple of days, and I glued them together forming a boat shape. The scented liquid drops were dripped inside the boat.
Scent: body, dark woods, green, light floral, rosemary
11 Sanctuary
Concept: This is a womb-shaped installation made of resin, bubble wrap and some miniature figures. The idea came from birds' nests. Many things and places can be a sanctuary for us, but I want to date back to the time when we were still in our mother's womb. Like birds' nests, the womb is where we were born, and it provides us safety, protection, warmth, nutrition, etc., so at least for me, the womb offers me most sanctuary to help me start my life.
Sound: water, white noise, heartbeat
imitating the sound of amniotic fluid and the environment inside the womb
Scent: sweet, light floral, fruit, body
in order to create a sense of newborn and warmth
12 Tinctures
Green: tea, tree bark, rose, jasmine, peppermint
Sweet: vanilla bean, cinnamon, grapefruit peel, salt
Smoke: tobacco, rolling paper, tree bark, peppermint, coffee beans
Skin: body lotion, shampoo, salt, laundry detergent, softener, body wash
I also made a pure rose scent and a pure coffee scent.
