Description:
Ancestral Eye is a poignant tribute to memory, spirit, and the cycles of life. Woven on a treadle loom using traditional Zapotec techniques, this piece is crafted entirely with plant-based dyes and undyed wool in natural tones of white, gray, and black sourced from native sheep breeds.
At the center lies the Ojo de Dios (Eye of God), a sacred symbol of spiritual insight and protection. Surrounding it, delicate butterfly motifs honor the souls of ancestors who have passed, believed to return in spirit. The iconic greca pattern flows through the borders, representing the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
Rooted in meaning and tradition, this piece serves not only as a work of art but also as a cultural vessel for memory and reverence.
