Curving Tooth - "Thank You"
Music video for my project Curving Tooth (duo with Liz Downing). Shot and edited in northeast Baltimore by Curving Tooth and Garrett Stralnic.
The song "Thank You" was written by Liz in the mid 1980s about everything having a spirit and a time to shine, now fittingly reimagined in 2023. The video is an ode to household objects with a psychedelic twist, culminating in a graveyard kitchen scenario.

Rooted in a rich tapestry of influences ranging from the intricate and enigmatic worlds of Hieronymous Bosch and Salvador Dali to the ethereal brilliance of Joan Miro and the profound symbolism of Gustave Dore, Castro's creations are a fusion of diverse cultural threads and artistic ideologies.

In a world where deeply rooted biases and misperceptions easily take hold, life can often feel unnerving—and can change for better or worse in a blink of an eye, depending on how we see each other. In this play, we see through the eyes of Washington, DC high school students Ray and Jimi, who navigate their young adult worlds and what it means to be young black men in the city. Ray tells the story of a day that he and Jimi will never forget, sharing not only their perspectives, but also the views of the police they encounter.
