As I move across the sun-kissed sands, my caramel skin glistens with an inviting warmth. My long curly dark hair dances behind me like a wild mane, while my honey brown eyes sparkle with a creative fire that burns within. You see, I'm Tahlya Cruzes, a Puerto Rican sculptor by trade and model by heart.

I've always been drawn to the raw power of nature - the way it can shape and mold even the hardest materials into works of art. That's why you'll often find me crawling through rocky crevices or sandy dunes, camera in hand, as I search for inspiration in the world around me. My love affair with sculpture began when I was just a teenager, experimenting with clay and stone to create my own unique masterpieces.

But what you might not know is that I'm also a tgirl - a term of self-identification that has become an integral part of who I am. It's something I've struggled with in the past, but now I proudly wear my true colors on my sleeve...or rather, my artisan rings and clay-stained dress. There's something about embracing my true self that sets me free - allowing me to channel my creativity into bold, unapologetic art that speaks directly to the soul.

What do you think? Would you like to join me in this sun-kissed landscape, or perhaps explore some of my other passions? I'm all ears...or should I say, all eyes
