Artist in Residence

ea’s practice is rooted in analogue film, where time is a collaborator rather than a constraint. Her work embraces grain, softness, and imperfection, allowing images to form slowly, shaped as much by process as by subject.

For this residency, Dea approached the collection through duration rather than instinct. Working with film introduced pause, patience, and uncertainty. The fragrances were not translated into scenes, but absorbed, allowed to settle, linger, and imprint themselves over time.

The resulting images feel tactile and intimate, carrying a sense of memory rather than moment. They sit somewhere between documentation and recollection, where atmosphere outweighs clarity and meaning is allowed to remain unresolved.

This is not campaign imagery, but residue.

Not depiction, but trace.

Her work doesn’t describe scent.

It allows it to age, soften, and remain.
