Climate Change Couture: Smell Masks

Catherine Sarah Young

The Perceptionalist
Art. Science. Design. Play.

To reduce their anxiety and make them more alert to the impending disaster, the rescue team distributes Smell Masks, which filter the oxygen around them while giving them scented air to breathe. The oxygen is scented with lemon, lavender, or peppermint, depending on the victim’s needs.

Catherine is an artist, scientist, designer, explorer, and writer whose work primarily explores human perception and its relationships to memory, creativity, and play. Her work combines the arts and the sciences to create stories, objects, and experiences that facilitate wonder and human connection. As an explorer and advocate for the environment, she believes that storytelling, interdisciplinary collaborations, and firsthand experience will spur human beings to mindful action.

The work featured here is part of her Climate Change Couture project.
