SCENT COMMISSIONS
In addition to creating environmental scents to accompany her own visual projects and installations, Alia loves to collaborate with artists, arts organizations, and private collectors for custom scent commissions. If you have a project in mind, she’d love to hear about it.
The Edge of Disaster | AMS 1 | 2021 unique scent commission for room diffuser, private collection 1/1

Notes: Standing at the edge of a deep winter forest in the Pacific Northwest on a rare, crisp, clear day.
