"C17 H21 NO4 is the chemical formula of cocaine. The magic tree, a car deodorant available and sold all over the world, reflects well the present times when everything must be sanitized, even hidden to offer an appearance of being immaculate and clean. I added a text to it in which in a column I chose just certain letters by highlighting them in green. I thus create a treasure hunt as part of the very reading of the meaning of the work. The text is here as a revealer of a reality which is what it is like: ''Money does not smell''. In my opinion the magic tree is the symbol of our time, like the Campbell box from Warhol. Today it is about masking the odors as one retouches the images."
