OUTSIDE THE BOX

Decomposition of the "beach" into four aromas: ocean, pina colada, sunscreen and wet wood/sand, that together would transport you to the simulated environment. The textures below correspoded to a guessing game in which you had to match a texture with one of the aromas experiences through the four opening.

THE NO SHAME MASK

Inspired in the walk of shame, but owning it. The mask is transparent so you cant hide. It is constructed only with plastic, adding remains of a night out throughout its layers like makeup, pins, receipt, contacts and gum. The aroma was created with lipstick, tequila and hair gel.

MAGIC IN MUSIC

Inspired in Chinese traditions, the art installation represented the encounter of two unknown soulmates, culturally from the neighboring mountains. The ropes created obstacles for a blindfolded person to overcome, guided by their soulmate and with the goal of not pushing any hanger. The hangers represented the people in between the two mountains.

The aroma was created by combining dark woods, stone and amoke, from our scent kit and then applied to the old robe with altered the outcome.

SANCTUARY PROJECT

THE GHOST TREE

Inspired by the mythology of the willow tree. We created an art piece that would represent the sadness of losing someone you love. The shadows represent a hurt interior vs a smooth exterior mask. The water in the tube illustrate the tears of mourning sisters and the material of the leaves the lightness of the ghost.

RITUAL ALTAR

AYAHUASCA

Indigenous ritual Ayahuasca practiced in Ecuador, Peru and Costa Rica

LOVE LETTER

The story of a person who believed was a god. He fell in love with himself and wrote a letter to ascend to the heavens. However, since he was not a god, the legend didnt become reality and his rage took over. But the paper and the message are timeless. As everything you make into words.

AROMATIC AVATAR

"EVEN ANGELS DRINK COFFEE"

Our character reflects the two sides of a morning, pre and post coffee. The feeling of being in chains, trapped in our bad humor and then the drastic switch to happiness.
