Juice captures the essence of a summer heat, documenting a moment in time through the vibrant taste of something cold and sweet. Inspired by the smell of a counter full of smashed oranges and the sticky feel beneath my fingertips, this creation reflects the nostalgic journey of my first attempt at making orange juice as a kid. What once seemed simple—one single orange—became a process of trial and error, revealing the richness found in patience and creativity. As a Southern California artist and creator, I bring this sensory story to life, offering a unique experience that honors both craft and memory for the community at my studio.
