Title: In Nature and in the City
Medium: Finds from nature and text

Things we smell in nature and in the city can be emotive and memorable. Smells alight the olfactory receptors in our nose and convert to electrical impulses that move to areas of our brain that process “expression and experience of emotion” (the amygdala) and “associative memory” a unique process.

Memory and emotion are associated with smell.
