Osmi 

May - June 2024

Art is typically experienced through the senses of sight, sound and touch. In collaboration with my classmate and friend, Ioanna Kyridou, I created Osmi, a multi sensory project combining sight, smell, touch and taste. I created the outfit shown below, while she created a matching headpiece. 

​

Inspired by the smell of wild herbs and the general feeling of the sea, I created an outfit comprised of a top and skirt. I used liquid latex to drape fabric, adding elements like seaglass, shells, dried herbs, beads, pottery pieces and sequins into this mixture to depict an abstract seashore. 

​

We also collaborated in making a drink representing our reminiscence on our culture. The recipe can be found below. Each note and ingredient evokes a feeling we wanted to recreate. For example, the dried herb infused syrup give the drink a distinct depth and richness, which could be likened to a grandma's house. In contrast, the sparkling water links the drink to the sea, providing freshness and even saltiness.
