Javi S. Mares (he/they/él) Javi S. Mares is a poet, or better yet, un pajarito del amor. He earned BAs in psychology and art. While at the University of Houston his concentrations were in photography, architecture, and graphic design. Javi writes to hold his big boi feelings; water bbs gotta swim.
His practice is rooted in creating portraits of his personal—oftentimes emotional—narratives while navigating the sea and learning to hold on gently. He currently works in arts administration in Houston, Texas and visits with the moon.
