"Au creux de ses courbes, Au creux de sa danse, Le parfum d’empyreume brouille mes sens."

"In the hollow of her curves, In the depths of his dance, The scent of empyreum confuses my senses."

• Orabelart

'Empyreume' is the first in a series of three collaborative artworks by Orabelart (FRA) & Shinji Akhirah (ZA). It explores the sensual and often seductive qualities of scent, smoke and the synergy between individuals.

The goddess in the artwork has a mesmerizing and mysterious quality about her as her gaze and posture alludes to a conversation that exists without words and outside of space-time. The longer you stare, the more hypnotic the effect becomes as she seizes and commands your attention in respect of her power.
