It falls right through me, but the memory is enough.

Woman falling in front of blue velvet. Falling for the thought.

Saint Citrus is a conceptual series exploring the pull of the creative consciousness and unfulfilled potential. Shot against blue velvet, oranges act as symbols of ideas waiting to be taken or left to waste. A briefcase filled with fruit becomes creative potential that can be used, stockpiled, or left to rot. A hand emerging from the blue velvet, possibly Saint Citrus mirroring the artist’s own, doesn’t care who takes the spark, only that it’s taken at all. All oranges were donated to a food shelter after the shoot; the briefcase is still hard at work. Shot and edited by Jonathan Grado.
