I Try To Write About Small Things

This was an experiment born out of the idea to do something very specific, yet unexpected. While listening to music in search of inspiration, I have realized that there really are numerous songs featuring a fruit in their title. The three that came to my mind automatically were "Lemon" by U2, "Tangerine" by Led Zeppelin, and "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles
The idea to write the lyrics of the songs with the actual fruit came out of the desire to do something more physical. I have been interested in the correlation between the physical and digital for quite a long time, but this is the first time I have started properly exploring it while playing with surfaces, different materials, and experimentation in the real world, then bringing it into the digital and playing with colors, overlays, and numerous effects.
I have picked what I think are the best lyrics of each song, wrote it with their designated fruit, then digitalized it in Photoshop to create three compositions that might as well be used as a fruit juice commercial.
