I am an olfactory artist investigating the limits of algorithmic perception.

Trained in perfumery at Grasse, I create participatory installations that test how AI interprets scent—an experience it cannot have. By collecting structured human perceptual data and comparing it to machine-generated descriptions, I expose systematic bias in computational sensory models.

My work asks: what happens when algorithms confidently describe sensations they've never felt?

Through experimental protocols embedded within artworks, I examine how language shapes olfactory perception, how cultural background affects scent vocabulary, and where artificial intelligence "hallucinates" smell.

This practice operates at the intersection of embodied experience, contemporary art, and critical AI research.
