Scentsory is a multi-sensory interactive installation that translates facial emotion into scent, inviting participants to join in a mediated exchange of affect. In a loop of recognition and response, ephemeral feelings are rendered perceptible—visible, breathable, and printable. The work offers a quiet intervention into the affective flattening of digital communication, asking how emotional resonance might persist within systems that prioritize speed over depth.
