Abstract
This text talks about death and the smell of death. It elaborates on the difficulties that arise in attempting to describe smells and olfactory phenomena in a visual essay using images and words. The ineffable qualities of smell and death prevent certainties. Materiality, however, can provide a window into awareness and the beginnings of understanding.
