Love, at its core, is vulnerability—a willingness to shed our armor and trust another to hold what we’ve laid bare. Lost Vest: Grapefruit Interactions explores this openness through shared moments, creativity, and the simple act of interaction.

​

At the center of the archive lies the grapefruit—an ordinary fruit reimagined as a vessel for connection and reflection. Inspired by Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings, this project invites participants to engage with conceptual prompts that open pathways to love—whether for oneself, another, or the world.

​

The grapefruit becomes both symbol and catalyst: its roundness suggests wholeness, its segments remind us of individuality within unity. Each prompt asks participants to interact with it in ways that reveal their own vulnerability and imagination. Through these gestures, love emerges not as a single definition but as a spectrum—tender, awkward, joyful, hesitant, and profound.

​

The title Lost Vest captures love as both protection and surrender—finding safety not in walls but in connection. In a world that often fears vulnerability, this archive celebrates it as love’s truest form.

​

Ultimately, Lost Vest: Grapefruit Interactions is more than a collection of responses—it is a living exploration of how we love, reflect, and find home in unexpected places.
