Treatment of Anosmia

Jury comments

"The judges found the concept for this entry is unique. The narrative that threads through from the existing scenario to spectacle and collapse was clear, enjoyable, and original. The story of diagnosis of Anosmia, a loss of smell, by the story's protagonist has an element of surprise from one ‘chapter' to the next.

The judges acknowledged that the focus on the multisensory experience of the environment is both imaginative and relevant in post-Covid landscapes. The collage imagery used in this entry was an interesting way to communicate the story, and the judges especially enjoyed the therapeutic solution to Anosmia being the collapse of hardscape dominance with plants taking over the landscape.."
