You Smell Different But You’re Just the Same is a series of paintings by Iris de Moüy, produced over a span of fifteen years. While sorting through her archives, Iris de Moüy came upon countless drawings of her daughter, made from the moment of her birth, alongside paintings produced throughout those years. “I simply watched this child grow by drawing her.” Her words say it all: gestures and postures inscribed in early childhood, later recognized as enduring traces of who we are and who we become. In this series, Iris de Moüy’s line moves with great tenderness, revealing a bond between mother and child that is at once intimate, familiar, and enigmatic.
