and it’s healing healing power of smell. His immersive “House of Hope” fills the gallery with the aroma of healing herbs and 500,000 hand-made pills. Why would an artist make an artwork you can smell before you see? Discover the powerful role of scent in memory, ritual, and healing in this episode of ART AND THE SENSES.
