THEY...ALL DRESSED IN VIBRANT COLORS, SOMETIMES HALF-NAKED FEELING THE WIND THAT CARESSES THEIR LOOSE HAIR...

THEY...BEAUTIFUL SPEAKING WITH THE MOON AND HIS BRIGHTNESS AT NIGHT, AND TAKING A BATH WITH THE SUN BY DAY.

THEY...BEAUTIFUL, WEAVING THE HAMPER, CREATING A FRAMEWORK OF CONNECTION WITH THE UNIVERSE GIVING IT TO THEIR HUSBANDS, CHILDREN, 

            AND GRANDCHILDREN TO CARRY THE SECRED FOODS AND DEMONSTRATE THEIR LOVE...

THIS WORK RECOGNIZES AND PRESENTS THIS CONNECTION TO A MINORITY THAT IS BEING DESTROYED AND TRANSFORMED BY CAPITALISM, LEAVING NO BASIS OF KNOWLEDGE AND CONNECTION TO ITS OWN EXISTENCE. NATURE IS THE MAXIMUM EXPTESSION OF THIS PHYSICAL WORLD FOR THE INDGENOUS COMMUNITIES IN COLOMBIA AND THEY LIVE AND INHABIT SACRED LANDS.

THE WOMEN WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES ARE WISE,THEY ANALIZE, FIGHT AND THINK THROUGH THE FABRIC IN EACH, IN EACH THREAD THAT CONNECTS SHE WRITES HER FEELING, HER JOYES AND SADNESS.

FOR THEM THE UTERUS IS THE BEARER OF SACRED LIFE, THE CARRIER IS THE CYCLE PATH OF THE WOMAN''S LIFE, AND WHEN THEY GIVE BIRTH TO THEIR NEWBORNS THEY LEAVE UMBILICAL CORD UNDER THE EARTH.

LIKEWISE, THE COLORS REPRESENT THE JOY OF LIFE AND THE DEEP RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE AS THE MAXIMUM EROTIC EXPRESSION OF THE PHYSICAL WORLD. BY RECOGNIZING THEM, WE RECOGNIZE OUR EXISTENCE. ALL THE BEAUTIFUL BEINGS.
