This piece was inspired by the influence of our Mexican culture, traditions, and ancestors. Color is so important in Mexican culture, there are entire towns known for their colorful buildings alone. The shapes are inspired by the traditional folkloric dress from Jalisco, Mexico, made with ribbons that create beautiful organic shapes when the dancer swings her skirt. The design also incorporates patterns inspired by talavera pottery, which is native to Guanajuato, where the artists’ family is from. And the flowers are a loving tribute to their grandparents, who taught them to love nature.
