Memories from Tropicania... Inspired by the quantum physics theory to describe the present, which only exists when we look matter, Tropicana is an attempt to describe past and future look through the lenses of the present.

Tropicania is a dreamy place in Southern Mexico with lush landscape where people express their culture and heritage in every object. Rich colors, soothing textures and lighthearted silhouettes celebrate the people of Tropicania.

SWING

IN CONTROL

Sometimes, I feel that my life is a series of trapeze swings. I’m either hanging on to a trapeze bar swinging along or, for a few moments, I’m hurdling across space between the trapeze bars.

Mostly, I spend my time hanging on for dear life to the trapeze bar of the moment. It carries me along a certain steady rate of swing and I have the feeling that I’m in control. I know most of the right questions, and even some of the right answers. But once in a while, as I’m merrily, or not so merrily, swinging along, I look ahead of me into the distance, and what do I see?


RELEASE

FLY

I see another trapeze bar looking at me. It’s empty. And I know, in that place in me that knows, that this new bar has my name on it. It is my next step, my growth, my aliveness coming to get me. In my heart of hearts I know that for me to grow, I must release my grip on the present wellknown bar to move to the new one.

Each time it happens, I hope – no, I pray – that I won’t have to grab the new one. But in my knowing place, I know that I must totally release my grasp on my old bar, and for some moments in time I must hurtle across space before I can grab the new bar. Each time I do this I am filled with terror. It doesn’t matter that in all my previous hurdles I have always made it.
