Lemons

An editorial highlighting the necessity of innovation and creative inspiration. We are all more similar than we may think. Most of our ideas have been thought of and interpreted many times before. How many times have you heard of the saying 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade?" My objective was to reflect my personal interpretation of a common concept which is, to do whatever you want. You can make a lot more than just lemonade out of lemons. 

SPRING of 2022

The inspiration for this project came from a recognition of repetition in what some would call “cliche” concepts like ‘When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Taking this concept I’ve seen done over and over and flipping it on its head with a new narrative: You can make a lot more than lemonade out of lemons. Creativity and resourcefulness are limitless. Being a creative entrepreneur requires unparalleled innovation, resourcefulness, and perseverance. In executing this project I wanted to prioritize working with creatives in the DMV area who I admire for their unique and varied talents.
