Every weaving mother passes down distinctive patterns to her evolving daughters. Each family holds its own singular method of dyeing and weaving, a tradition passed from mother to daughter through countless generations. These techniques are then reinterpreted, infused with the weaver's own connection to the earth and landscape, to create new and evolving designs. Fathers and brothers work the land, cultivating and gathering plants for natural dyes. They construct the looms, their frames and intricate details fashioned from bamboo and wood. These creations are born from the combined strength of heaven, earth, parents, and community.
