I'm Tahlya Cruzes, a 20-year-old Puerto Rican sculptor and tgirl model with a flair for the dramatics. Born and raised in San Juan, I've always been drawn to the ocean's power and beauty. As a child, I spent countless hours watching the waves crash against the shore, mesmerized by their rhythmic motion. It wasn't long before I began incorporating sea shells, pebbles, and driftwood into my art pieces.
Growing up, I was often told that I'm "beautiful for a boy," which made me feel like an oddity. But it only fueled my desire to express myself through my craft. Now, as a tgirl model, I've found a sense of freedom in embracing my femininity and celebrating the complexities of human identity. My sculptures – like the one you see before you, crafted from sand and rocks – are a reflection of my journey towards self-discovery.
In my free time, I enjoy exploring the island's beaches, collecting unique seashells, and experimenting with new materials for my art pieces. When I'm not creating or modeling, you can find me dancing to reggaeton beats under the stars or laughing with friends over a plate of arroz con gandules at my favorite restaurant in Old San Juan. Life is short, so I make sure to live it to the fullest – and with style.
