aVoid explores the paradoxical nature of emptiness and the transformative power of filling it. It focuses on the “void”—a space of silence, absence, and potential—and how a single, intangible element like scent can transform it. Scent, uniquely personal and powerfully evocative, becomes the medium through which the void is filled, expanded, and even purified.

Scent has the remarkable ability to transport us to a specific moment in time, to evoke memories that lie dormant in our minds. This perfume serves as a potent reminder of the collective achievements of the graduating class.

The title aVoid is a play on words, inviting dual interpretations: "avoid" and "a void." This installation explores the enigmatic concept of fragrance - a deeply personal and evocative phenomenon that intertwines with our memories, emotions, and sense of individuality. Just as each individual possesses a unique olfactory fingerprint, so too does their relationship with scent resonate with singular significance. As you immerse yourself in the swirling mists and shifting hues of the installation, allow yourself to surrender to the moment, to embrace the fleeting yet profound connection between scent and self.

why aVoid?

Moving between countries so often, I experienced countless identity shifts—adapting to new languages, customs, and environments. Perfume was the first thing that gave me a sense of constancy. When I received my first perfume as a gift, I began noticing how I associated people with their unique scents. I love how perfume interacts with individual chemistry, creating a signature that’s entirely your own.

Most importantly, scent carries memory. Every fragrance I wear is tied to moments, places, and people, forming a sensory archive of my life. For me, perfume is identity, memory, and storytelling—all in a bottle. That’s why aVoid became my capstone project: through this fragrance, I wanted to create a scent people would associate with today’s senior capstone, capturing this moment in memory and identity.
