SOS - I am drowning in a mud!
It’s shockingly, chokingly strong and undeniably unique — but what else could you expect from Mr. Gualtieri?
At first sniff, I feel like I’m drowning in a dirty swamp: mud, burnt wood, and wet, decaying plants pulling me under. I admire its storytelling quality — it’s like a vivid scene from some wild, primal myth. Yet lately, I find myself growing more resistant to these screamingly artistic scents. It makes a statement, yes, but do I really want to ambush everyone around me with this olfactory bomb?
Over time, it does soften. It becomes a little lighter, even greener. The heavy rain passes, and the muddy ground starts to breathe with new life. But still, above me, dark smoky clouds linger. There’s electricity in the air — the smell of an approaching storm.
No, I’m not going to buy it. But I do enjoy the intensity of the experience. It’s something I’d love to revisit once in a while, like a visit to a heavy contemporary art exhibition. I wouldn’t want these painful installations in my living room, but I love the way they trigger my brain when I see them in a gallery.
