My work focuses on the obscure area of overlapping inhabitants and how sense of smell plays crucial role. During my study in a Master degree at the Dutch Art Institute, my research into how olfactory sense, investigates smells through the act of orientation/ disorientation, marking territory and being deterritorialized though shifting smells.

In Western society, hegemony of vision and hearing is evidential. To release myself from the despotic reign of the eyes, I refuse to give visual a priority in my research and writing, however, never turn blind eyes. By bringing my nose to the forefront, I claim that smell/scent/olfactory too, play a crucial role in orientating oneself, claim the space (territory) and communities’ formation and transmission.
