These pieces began as a series of small drawings created while I was moving to Berlin and living out of a suitcase.

These two pieces are based on a dream about a man who needed to experience three scents before he could die. Wanting to pass on, he desperately searched for the third and most elusive scent after quickly finding the first two. He spent eternity searching.
