ONCE I TRIED TO CATCH THE MIST
a droplet ties itself to a halm
my feet leave marks in the soft moss, the water goes through my shoes, making my socks wet
my eyes scan the area, I bend over
I smell my shoulder, your body neutralizes
my skin reflects the light
I surrender
It’s slipping away
Once I tried to catch the mist is a conceptual scent dinner about (collective) memory connecting to food, daily life and the seasons and explores the border between the tangible and the non-tangible.
