Olores

Smells are the sounds and images of the childhood of someone who feels closer to blood-stained knives and rags than to the purity with which childhood is usually conceived when imagining children playing with each other. However, to speak of her childhood is not just to speak of blood, but of her mother and the smells of her flesh.
