Everything on this island has it’s place.
The hearth that burns through the storms night.
The coquí’s voice that resonates through unstable political climate, corruption and natural disaster.
The old Tahino song that call the Heliconia to the hummingbird so that the seasons of abundance can go on.
The shark that hungers over natural resources and opens up the wound between rich and poor.
The arms of the manglar that take root in the uncertain future of children that help to dream it
These are part of a bigger cycle in which, as individuals and whole societies, we have the choice to open our eyes on our own intuitive power, our own resources, our own resilience…
I made this painting after riding on a traditional ox cart in Guadeloupe. It amazed me the strength of these animals and the enormous amount of weight they are able to maneuver.

A little series of photos that I worked on with the amazing @thierry_du_bois perfect model
and @thierry_du_bois an incredible photographer.

Seething mind of canopied flesh thinkers of foes/emmindied Bod carnal thoughts infantalized throughandless facialized defacialization….
