In Spit and Image, artists Dorota Gawęda and Eglė Kulbokaitė collaborated with 432 PERFUME to create the fragrance installation Mirror Mirror (2025), using scent molecules as the medium. This work seeks to explore the mystery of "doubleness."

The piece's core inspiration comes from a fascinating chemical phenomenon—the chirality of molecules: two chiral molecules are mirror images of each other, much like left and right hands. Though identical in chemical structure, they are perceived by human senses as entirely different scents due to variations in atomic arrangement. Drawing from this, the artists and perfumers crafted a pair of "twin" scents centered around the chiral molecules (R)-carvone and (S)-carvone—one as cool and fresh as spearmint, the other as warm and spicy as cumin. These scents permeate the first and second-floor exhibition spaces, respectively, creating a sensory atmosphere that is both unified and distinct.

To allow the audience to extend this wondrous fragrance experience beyond the exhibition, MACA, in collaboration with 432 PERFUME, will host a perfumery workshop, guiding participants on a unique journey of scent exploration.
