Flor’s Love Antennas
#LoveAntennas are unique, one of a kind, plant-based pieces; a 3D Painting created from canvas and regional plant materials. Named that way under the notion that, in the words of the artist, "nowadays, Love is so far removed from Humanity that we will need to build antennas in order to re-connect with it..."

NATURE MEETS TECHNOLOGY
The Narrative explores the vision of a future emergency, as humanity realizes that governments and politicians didn’t know anything about science, as they scramble and turn to scientist to demand they reconstruct through technology the benefits nature once offered, before we burned through it all. As usual, they will treat those scientists as if they had been asleep this whole time, denying the fact that scientists have been warning of the impending catastrophe ahead, as Earth, like any other living organism, will use its defenses to try and purge and rid itself of its affliction or disease.

Flor del Sol Eco-Industrial Sculpture Garden
"It is humanity’s chink in the armor to never believe or admit that they contribute to anything wrong that happens, as they ravage, rape and destroy Earth, just by demanding and funding their own comfort and their own pleasures. I would say - wake up, but I know you won’t, so sweet dreams, the water will wake you when it comes to drown you, and even then you’ll consider yourself a victim of someone else’s doing... it’s been you all along, it’s always been us. All of us."

EARTH - an Invite to Your Home
EARTH is an immersive installation accompanied by celestial music and is all hand-made by JuanCarlos, with the exception of string lights. It has a living plant inside the sphere, symbolizing Earth. The sphere is made of aluminum wire, representing a prison of our outdated and stale beliefs and ideals, which we still cling to, calling it our history. The pulsating lights inside the sphere represent Earth's pulse, where it varies in intensity, symbolizing human destructive behavior. When the pulse slows down, it is perhaps when we're asleep or in the midst of a pandemic, where Earth has a chance to take a breath and regenerate. (If you recall, at the very beginning of COVID-19, bird chirping and singing was heard even in the urban areas of the busiest of cities, without the hum of our daily destructive ways...)
This installation can be hung indoors or outdoors. It has a UV plant light while indoors and the string lights could be changed to solar powered for outdoor use.
