Zapotec weaving is an art that's been passed down from generation to generation. I learned from my parents, who learned from their parents who, in turn, learned from their own parents. When I was eight years old, I started with the basics, which consisted of winding the threads on a bamboo spool. By 2006, I was able to weave small rugs. Weaving became a big part of me because it helped pay for my education and I'm very proud to have learned this art from my parents. I'm inspired by Oaxaca's pre-Hispanic Zapotec temples and archaeological sites. I'm also inspired by landscapes, stars, cloud formations, mountains, the colors on the horizon and animals. In addition, I sometimes create contemporary designs using our ancestral techniques.'
