This marks my debut in tapestry artistry—a genuine challenge involving knotting, unraveling, and design. Encountering the kurrajong tree during my routine afternoon walks, I found the peculiar, canoe-shaped pods hanging from its branches. This tapestry holds significant reminiscent qualities, reflecting both my origins and the artistic influence drawn from the Venezuelan Amazon. In certain instances, it evoke the image of a necklace reminiscent of those worn by the Pemones people during their ceremonies and in their daily lives.

My artistic arrangements are spontaneous yet thoughtfully organized.
