Tropical: Isn’t an Escape, It’s the Ancestral Fever of Sun and Soil
There was a time when the word tropical meant only geography, a band of light between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, drawn in textbooks and weather maps. But somewhere between the voyages of Darwin, the watercolors of Johann Rugendas, and the fantasies of European explorers, that neutral zone of heat turned into a mirage, a paradise of color, sweat, and freedom, and that's where the essence of Tropical Aesthetics flows.
