Here are three paragraphs about myself:
As a 20-year-old Puerto Rican sculptor, I have been surrounded by the beautiful beaches and lush greenery of my island home since birth. My love for art began when I was just a child, watching the way the sunlight danced across the sand as it swirled through the currents of the ocean. It wasn't long before I found myself fascinated with the shapes and forms that the waves created on the beach.
Growing up in Puerto Rico gave me an appreciation for the beauty of nature and inspired my love for sculpting. As a young girl, I would spend hours collecting seashells and driftwood, bringing them back to my studio to shape and mold into intricate pieces of art. The way the sunlight reflected off the curves of the shells or the smoothness of the wood always left me in awe.
My journey as an artist has been shaped by not just my surroundings but also my own personal experiences and struggles. As a trans woman, I have had to navigate a world that often doesn't understand or accept those who are different from themselves. But through my art, I hope to bring people together, to show them the beauty in imperfection and the strength of vulnerability.
