Santiago Atitlán Portrait by Feliza Velásco
Embroidery
8"x8"
My portrait represents me as an indigenous woman—happy and hardworking. It also reflects my community, showing the houses, fields, and corn crops that provide us with food. I wanted to share a glimpse of my daily life as a mother and housewife. The trees symbolize the nature that surrounds me, while the hanging clothes represent the traditional clothing I wear.
