In 2018, Saint moved beyond traditional photography and began exploring his work through painting; an inquiry into beauty, identity, celebrity, and the resulting psychological complexities of self-perception in our time. Saint's new creative process, which he calls "Lumadynamic Decomposition", is the result of challenging his own photography.[5]
