Como un Animal
An Uncensored & Unapologetic Music Video Filmed in the Rainforest of Puerto Rico
This song, a re-imagining of Nine Inch Nails “Closer” was born during my time in Puerto Rico. The lyrical rewrite occurred under the night stars in San Juan. The video came to me on the shores of Aguadilla where I let my imagination get carried away.
I wrote this piece of writing there. The video brought this vision out of my daydreams and off of the page into physical form. I adore this process of bringing art to life.
Selva
Centered I sit. Pussy rooted and legs parted. The rhythm comes alive as if it flows from the base of my spine. It leaks from my legs into the river where it will eventually merge with the sea.
Surrounding me- ignited Boricuas. Strong bodies, sun baked skin, potent features, powerful gaze. We look dead into the camera, our bodies glistening in coconut oil. Our hair oily, accentuating our curls.
We writhe- serpent like motions, drinking from our cups, already full. In overflow we share of ourselves.
Women, supple and strong, on the earth we allow our curves to come undone.
Selva tropical, surrender and sweat.
Video featuring Yesenia and Trendy aka Naomi Curbelo. Filmed by Talltree.
