Hilos
Hilos de las montañas by Elsa Fuentes
The piece "Threads on the mountain" is defined as an optical illusion that breaks with the three colors of Puerto Rican traditional flag: white, blue and red.
This brings us to our true identity as Puerto Ricans and children of a Homeland whose colors are born from the Borinquen ground: where we get rid of what colonialism imposes on us, and create an identity based on roots, nuances, culture, flavor and human warmth.
Materials: Materials: Six strand border thread, Cotton variety of earth colors, Cross Stitch Fabric 14 Count Embroidery Cloth, Punch Needle Kit Punch and Embroidery Plastic Circle Cross Stitch Ring Cloth Handicraft for Embroidery.
