WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?
Project Type :
2023, Sculpture
“What Are You Wearing?” is a sculpture made of steel and perfume bottles. This piece is about scent. Scent is something we all have uniquely as individuals. Biologicall,y we all have natural scents, but some of us choose perfumes and other scents each day to help build and portray a certain character. Scent is like clothes for the skin. It has the effect of protection, avoidance, and seduction, and much like putting on a mask or armor, one can hope for a little reinvention of oneself each day. The sculpture is presented as perfume holders, and each perfume bottle looks like clothing and armor, conveying the different levels of self-protection in disguising oneself. It channels the idea presented in the skin as a reinvention that modifications on the skin and our outer projection provide us strength and coping mechanisms for facing the outside world.
