Where the olfactory met the visual, stop and smell the roses was an exhibition that invited viewers on a sensory journey through the home fragrance brand Dasein. Stemming from German philosophy, Dasein encapsulates the art of ‘being present’, infusing an extra dose of joy into your ‘days in’.
Inspired by the essence of Dasein, the show of London-based artists was a celebration of indulgence, weaving a narrative around themes of femininity, peace, pleasure, nature, and the essential element that defines Dasein’s candles: the senses.
Morrell House in Shoreditch set the stage for this immersive experience; a sanctuary that reminded us to indulge. It was the perfect backdrop for an exploration of art that engages the senses. stop and smell the roses encouraged a conscious connection with the pleasant moments found within our domestic environments, emphasising the tranquillity that can be felt in our immediate surroundings. The exhibition was an ode to self-care and a journey that evoked a sense of stillness and harmony.
