You are invited to get closer to the openings of the sculptures, where the scent brings you back to a life centred around the production of tobacco. Each sculpture carries the names of traditionally female domestic roles, contrasting them with the reality of the ever-changing faces of womanhood and femininity. The project aims to keep the memory of the unrecognised labour of women and evoke empathy through a sensory experience of smell and observation.
Through a practice of craft, inspired by a technique of knitting domestic vessels with corn leaves, Kalina seeks to decontextualise tobacco as a consumable good and reframe it as a material of creation instead of destruction and oppression.
