Funded by supporters through GoFundMe and local sponsors of Culebra and Puerto Rico.

‍

In 2014 I build Hector El Protector on the beautiful island of Culebra. Hector was throwing rocks at anyone wanting to hurt the island. Unfortunately, Hector was knocked out when hurricane Maria hit the island. The locals and visitors had grown very fond of their sculpture, and reach out tome with a wish for me to resurrect their friend. I have a great love for the island of Culebra and its people, so together with them, I raised the necessary travel funds to go with my friends and recreate Hector in 2019. Hector has learned from his violent ways and has now chosen another method of keeping the island safe. He now holds out a lantern, to show any future hurricanes that here lies a beautiful island, which they don’t need to hit. Hector was built from scrap wood, and an old trash can with the help of the wonderful people of Culebra.
