The development of the installation/project Diary of Smells:Nidus Vitreo dates from 2007 when the first resin glass branches were molded. The first installation, constructed of 250 branches, was Architectando. It was followed by Architectando: Elias’s Nest with 500 branches and six photographies in 2009.
