Smell Me

May Yeung
Medium: Banana Peel

Reva and David Logan Centre for the Arts, USA, 2012

Fascinated by the smell, the shape and the texture of banana, the artist hand-weaved the fruit peels one by one to compose the public installation. Nothing is more memorable than a smell. Banana scent can be unexpected, yet conjure up a childhood summer of enjoying banana split, a family sharing banana pancake together. Smell transports you and me across thousands of miles and all the years we have lived.
