Abstract
"Imagine Finally Growing a Lemon Full" invites viewers to enter a layered and tactile world where discarded objects are given renewed life. Constructed with recycled materials ranging from paint remnants to cardboard salvaged from diaper boxes, the work embodies both playfulness and critique. Words and phrases submerged within its surface, including the title itself and raw fragments of thought, provoke reflection on the contradictions of consumer culture and the dissonance of our daily choices. The bright lemon detail, cut from a soap wrapper, offers a striking visual anchor that contrasts against the complex layering of textures.
The work resists being burdened with a singular moral stance and instead celebrates the act of creation as a return to childlike exploration. The artist embraced spontaneity and imperfection throughout the two to three days of its making, balancing critique with joy. By transforming everyday refuse into an abstract meditation on meaning and play, the piece underscores the possibilities of reinvention and resilience. It ultimately asks us to consider not only what we discard, but how imagination might transform it.
