Mayan artwork is abundant in Guatemala, particularly woven textiles.

I became eager to learn about the weaving process in its entirety - from raw cotton to finished product.

Attached find notes taken while in conversation with Nohemi from Flor de Pericon, an art collective space for unmarried Mayan women.

I have included English translations and elaborations alongside each note.
