Each sculpture holds two related smells and joins their molecular shapes in one form. The forms are 3D printed and coated with several layers of holographic paint applied by an industrial airbrush. Internal chambers with absorbent materials preserve the smells, which diffuse outward through thin conduits. Visitors can hold and smell each piece.
