Now

Part of my constant practice is to balance my dreamy personality with the present moment, I keep reflecting and analyzing the absence and the presence of the people around me, I find this “antonym” fascinating, but not only that, is the experiences, the presence of nature and the emotions that I get to feel.

Living in the now is a beautiful and powerful experience, and I want you to try to do that too. I finally found the way to land safely in Planet Earth knowing that I can go back to my dreams, fantasies and adventures anytime I need to. NOW is a reminder for everyone to be here and to appreciate people, places and things we have in the moment.

Frágil pero fuerte.

Y después de todo,

ahi estas tú,

brillando con toda tu luz

a los pies del océano,

la brisa del mar acariciándote,

y la neblina

haciéndote lucir más bella que nunca.

y después de todo,

ahí estas tu,

frágil pero fuerte.

NEON BOOBS: 3 STORIES

I have 3 stories for you today.

All my boobies creations represent a woman and a story, today I posted on my instagram this photo below about 3 of my neon boobs artworks and I want to tell you about it.

From left to right:

1.- “Dominga”, that’s my abuelita’s name (RIP) she had big ones, so does my mom and of course, myself, thanks Minga (that’s how we used to call her) and all my big boobs ancestors haha, it wasn’t until a few years ago that i finally accepted the fact that i had big boobs and started feeling good about it. I grew up feeling ashamed of them, they were just so big, but these are the coconuts that I was meant to have so there’s nothing I can do about it. This piece talks about genes and heritage, generations and family resemblance from woman to woman.

2.- “Plus, we’re not perfect”, these are big boobs and uneven, because that’s normal, I’m talking about naturally plus size girls, a lot of plus size women aren’t happy with their bodies, even skinny girls aren’t but none of us are perfect and that’s okay, so let’s just try to carry that weight in the best possible and healthy way.

3.- “Bipolar”, to all of you with a bipolar disorder struggling everyday, going from one or many positive thoughts to negative ones, you’re still going to be loved, hang in there and ask for help, know the symptoms and talk to your family, I’m no expert and I don’t want to hurt anyone with my thoughts so I’ll stop right there because i don’t know how that feels like, but I will continue celebrating all of you chicas no matter what.

Light & Love,

Teresa. 

"I FEEL YOU"

By the ocean is when I feel the presence of the absent the most, “ I FEEL YOU” is a work that expresses my thoughts and reflexions about the absence and the presence of the people we love that is no longer physically around us but we feel connected to them, there is irony in the concept; “I FEEL YOU” is a message I send to the most amazing natural things that Mother Earth gives us, the ocean, the sun, wildlife, flowers, rocks, trees, etc.

I’m so thrilled to share with you this light work i’ve created to celebrate the presence and the absence of a soul or a place we feel connected to.

“I Feel you” is my message to those i love the most, is a love letter to the ocean and nature and is the way I honor “your presence” and live “your absence”.

On October 4th of 2010 I lost my father due to sudden heart and respiratory problems, it was a surprise and I was devastated, my dad was gone. He would’ve been 71 years old today on June 11th 2020, Its been 10 years since he is not physically with me but he is present in my heart. This piece I dedicate to him!

Light & love for you always,

Teresa.

A time at the neon shop means:

A time at the neon shop means:

1.- Relaxation: Working with Glass, gas and fire could be a lethal combination but I find that to be so (can’t find the word for it) uncertain. The fire melting the glass is so satysfing but once the glass gets cold could break very easily. Going bend after bend if nothing breaks could be very relaxing, i’m happy when I get to do that right.

2.- Frustration/Learning: I’m not pro, there are many factors that affects the glass, and one tiny mistake could break a whole stick of glass or work already bent, so that’s very frustrating, not having the right tools or sense of the temperature of the fire, etc also affects. But is a process and I’m learning from it while developing my ideas.

3.- Discover new music: Bending Glass is my favorite time to listen new music (Only when i’m not listening to my favorite playlists of course) Do you have any good recommendations? Send them over.
