Tangerines Remember Their Orange Roots

Serenity, symbolism, and sacred ambiguity. At its center, a young red-haired woman stands poised against a soft beige backdrop, holding a peeled, levitating tangerine—an emblem of transformation and continuity, a reminder that even as we evolve, we remain connected to our origins. A halo-like circle glows behind her head, while an ornate headpiece of golden discs and white feathers crowns her as a modern oracle. Her mauve crop top and high-waisted black trousers offer a contemporary counterpoint to the divine imagery, grounding transcendence in the everyday. Through the interplay of the mythic and the mundane, this piece reflects on identity, memory, and the quiet persistence of what roots us, even as we rise beyond it.
