A small mixed media and acrylic work on canvas, Smell as memory (2025) explores the symbiotic relationship between the natural and human world. On the left, a female figure is shown in profile, whilst in front of her and above, a snake connects two flowers. The flowers are shown on a scale similar to the figure as she appears to lean into the opening of the bottom one, smelling the flower’s perfume. The title implies the power of smell to recall memory, something essential for human connection and survival. By highlighting the capacity of the natural world to provide this for us, Raadatkhan emphasises the centrality of nature to every aspect of human life
