JR_Art

Another inspiration.. 

I began following JR through instagram.. I hadn't really seen his work around, but since he is always updating his photos, I got a sense of his life, his studio, and his art. A few days ago, I finally put "a name to an art".. Crossing the Williamsburg Bridge (Brooklyn, NY), I finally saw one of his recent "eyes".. 

It struck me! So I finally went online and researched a bit about him.. 

In this video, he tells us a bit about his story, which I found to be fascinating. I would love to glue my art around the city, and be able to pass my message around and inspire people like he is doing.

Iemanjá, Rainha do Mar

Hoje, dia 2 de Fevereiro, eh dia de Iemanja, nossa, minha, RAINHA DO MAR.

Today, February 2nd, is Iemanja's Day, our, mine, QUEEN OF THE OCEAN.

Poderosa força das águas.  Inaê, Janaína, Sereia do Mar.  Saravá minha Mãe Iemanjá!  Leva para as profundezas do teu mar sagrado.  Odoiá... Todas as minhas desventuras e infortúnios.  Traz do teu mar todas as forças espirituais para alento de nossas necessidades.  Paz, esperança, Odofiabá... Saravá, minha Mãe Iemanjá! Odofiabá...

 Eu sou devota a Iemanja ha uns anos, ja me casei no Candomble, no Terreiro de Iemanja, tenho minha Santinha em casa, e infelizmente hoje nao posso ir pra perto do mar... Isso me corta o coracao, porem sei que ela escuta as minhas preces. 

"Mãe cujos filhos são peixes"

Hoje eh seu dia, e eu lhe ofereco minhas preces.
