Węchowisko

This is a project made for my master's degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Węchowisko is a book about finding a visual way to depict perceiving fragrances and the human sense of smell. The name is created from the Polish word "węch" (smell) and the ending "-wisko," which changes the meaning to a place related to smell.

Based on a questionnaire, I created symbols for each given fragrance. The answers were analyzed to find patterns in each group of scents. Węchowisko is not only a book but also a series of workshops at the Museum of King Jan III's Palace at Wilanów in Warsaw.
