RECALLING MARA CORSINO'S TRIP TO HER PUERTO RICAN HOMETOWN

PHOTOGRAPHY


Mara Corsino is a photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, she began exploring photography in Milan, following her curiosity to create a language of her own. Her work is characterized by clean lines that embrace imperfections, tapping into her feminine gaze to bring out feminine qualities in her subjects. In April 2020, Corsino kept a diary that reflected on her humid Puerto Rican hometown. What emerged: images steeped in heat, water, earth, the sensory archive of home. The diary fragrance distills this period.

Olfactive Journals

Over fixed periods, we invite artists to keep a diary with us—through audio, text, video, image.

They share textures, thoughts and experiences from that time.

At the diary’s close, our perfumer creates a fragrance—not as translation, but as portrait. A period in the artist’s life, filtered through another’s attention.

The scent becomes an anchor, but not for preservation.

For return. For continuation in another form.
