This installation marks the third phase of my sculptural system grounded in body proportions, integrating glass and salt as materials of temporal inscription. Developed through the Atmospheric Mechanism—an Arduino-controlled system of fog, scent, and light—it spatializes memory through atmospheric repetition. Salt emerges through evaporation; glass registers condensation. Together, they make time perceptible through erosion, accumulation, and disappearance.

Like starlight, both materials speak of delay—traces of something already past, but still arriving. The sensory logic of the installation is organized through planetary correspondences drawn from Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy. A series of perfumes—accompanied by edible candies created with a flavorist—translates scent into taste, extending the system’s engagement with emotional time and non-linear memory.

Realized as a multi-city installation, the work builds memory through atmosphere, not representation. It doesn’t aim to illustrate the past, but to activate it—drawing the viewer into a space where time loops, dissolves, and returns through material, scent, and light.

Here it’s always Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
