  • Does an image provoke a fragrance? Does fragrance provoke an image?
    Does the scent of rose induce the image of a rose? Does the image of a rose induce the scent of rose?
    “L-E 1”, abstraction, deep black and pure white…  Can smell be abstract?
    What does black smell like, and what about white?  Does deep night smell, and what about white light does it have its own perfume?
    What about the absents of smell?  What does that smell like?
    Does odorless have a smell? Is no smell like silence?
    Silence can only be defined by what it is not… and fragrance?
    How to explain the scent of an abstract fragrance that never existed?
    If I can imagine it, does the fragrance exist? Does my nose have its own dreams?
    What is the name of the perfume of the body of Alexandra?
    And “L-E 1”, black and white; does she induce a perfume? Her Fragrance I imagine is not the smell of crimson moonlight, nor the smell of a melting glacier.
    She smells like a Goddess. In her, are all the 10,000 perfumes of my dreams….
