Transforming scent
Embrace change, let its scent awaken possibilities within you.
In this piece, I transformed a desert environment into a flourishing, green landscape. The catalyst for this change is a perfume that breathes life into the scene, starting with a seed and culminating in a fruit landing back in the desert. I wanted to use a perfume as a metaphor for personal growth and development. The essence of this idea is captured in the phrase, "Embrace change, let its scent awaken the possibilities within you."

Inspiration
The first step in my project was creating a moodboard to capture the atmosphere I wanted to build. I drew inspiration from architecture, the curves of a vase, and the harmony of nature, particularly the calm beauty of Japanese gardens and other organic shapes. From these influences, I imagined the scent as earthy, fresh, and fruity.
Previous visual directions
Not all of my initial ideas made it into the final visual direction. I explored many different concepts and considered how the project could potentially take shape. Here are two of the styleframes I developed during the early stage of the process.
