This collection is a sacred visual altar to Goddesses from Arawak (Indigenous Caribbean), Yoruba (West African) cultures and Biblical traditions—three sacred cultural lineages carried by Afro-Indigenous women through blood, spirit, and resistance. In Yoruba tradition, we honor Yemaya, Oshun, and Oya—Orishas, divine forces of nature venerated in traditions such as Santería, Ifá, Lukumi, and Candomblé. They are part of the Seven African Powers, called upon for protection, resistance, resilience, love, fertility, and transformation. Yemaya, mother of all, mother of oceans and nurturer of life. Oshun, mother of rivers, love, sensuality, and fertility. Oya, mother of storms, wind, and the gateway between death and rebirth. In Arawak tradition, we honor Diosa Luna, the moon goddess. She emerges from a sacred cave in the territory of Cacique Mautiatibuel (Child of Dawn) and returns with the moonrise. More than a celestial being, Diosa Luna was believed to have the power to bless women with pregnancy. Caves were sacred spaces—seen as portals between worlds, and as sources of life, emergence, and feminine power. In Biblical tradition, we reclaim Eve and Lilith, two women whose stories have been reshaped and suppressed by patriarchy. Eve, the first woman in the Book of Genesis, often blamed for the fall of man, is reframed here as a life-giver—a bearer of wisdom, growth, and transformation. The act of her eating from the forbidden tree is controversial and means different things across cultures. Lilith, from ancient Jewish mysticism and folklore, is said to be Adam’s first wife who refused to submit to him and was cast out for demanding equality. Over time, she was demonized as a seductress, yet she remains a symbol of rebellion, autonomy, and feminine sovereignty. Together, Eve and Lilith speak to the duality of the sacred feminine—creation and refusal, softness and fire, womanhood and independence. They remind us that Biblical womanhood was never one-dimensional—it was revolutionary. These goddesses are not myths or metaphors. They are spirit, breath, memory, and living presence. This is how we honor them. This is how we remember ourselves.

Saints and Sinners is a collection of homage. Crowning women not for being flawless, but for being fierce, complicated, and real. These portraits challenge the boundaries of reverence and rebellion, holiness and heresy. Saint Grace Jones, Saint Selena, and Saint Sade are beatified not by tradition but by survival, sensuality, and spirit. Santa Liberación stands bare and unbothered, a visual worship and ownership of self. Sinner AOC wears a white gown scrawled with red: “Tax the Rich.” This piece references her appearance at the 2021 Met Gala—a gala sponsored by billionaires, attended by elites—while grassroots Black Lives Matter protestors were brutally arrested outside the same event. The dress became a viral statement, but the moment revealed the split between performance and praxis. Between showing up in a slogan and standing with the people. This portrait highlights her hypocrisy disguised as radicalism—a call to look past curated words and into the contradictions of political branding. This collection does not separate the sacred from the sinful. It names the tension. It lets it breathe. These women are saints not in spite of the mess, but because they never looked away from it.

Woman Are God is a reminder that the body is sacred—even when scarred, stretched, soft, or defiant. This collection was born from two years of pause, grief, and reflection. What you see here is not just art—it’s a symbolic offering and a refusal to let the sacredness of femme embodiment be forgotten, silenced, or erased. Each piece in this series represents a goddess that is inspired by planetary forces, elemental power, and astrological archetypes. These figures are not created for male gaze. They are not objects. They are created for liberation. They honor women not as ideals, but as they are: complex, complete, and unapologetically divine in their emotional depth, body diversity, and spiritual force. Woman Are God centers the themes of bodily autonomy, emotional expression, and self-determined beauty. It challenges the idea that women’s bodies exist to be conquered and are for consumption. A woman's body is not a battlefield. It is a cosmos. A living altar. A source of wisdom. Luna invites you to witness, to reflect, and to release. May you see yourself in the curves, in the elements, and in the stillness. May you remember that you, too, are made of stars—and that holiness lives in your body.

Birth of a Goddess is a sacred offering—a body of work that holds what words couldn’t. In this collection, Luna  uses herself as the muse, placing her body, spirit, and memory at the center as a conduit for truth, healing, and ancestral power. It honors the rawness of the grief, the loss, the violence, and the silence that follows. But it also holds love, resilience, liberation, sacred rebellion, and the beauty of becoming. Each piece is haunting, a scream, and a spell. This work is undone, layered with scars, adorned with sacred symbols, and alive with spirit. They speak to trauma, feminine rage, sensuality, and survival—woven with her ancestral memory, and spiritual gifts. What Luna conjures in her pieces are not made for consumption. It is communion—for those who know what it means to shapeshift through pain, to reclaim power, and to birth themselves from their own ashes. This is what becoming looks like. Nonlinear. Powerful. Sacred.
