Poncho 1965 - 1975

This vibrant poncho presents a striking display of vertical stripes and fringed edges. Such textiles transcend mere clothing; they embody cultural identity. The parallel lines—a motif found across civilizations from ancient Greece to the Incas—symbolize order and connection to the cosmos. Consider the serpent, often depicted in undulating lines, and its connection to cyclical renewal. Here, these rigid lines might seem far removed from the serpent's curves, yet both share a link to the continuous rhythm of life. Similarly, the fringe resonates with ancient ritualistic garments, where loose threads served as a liminal space between the wearer and the divine, blurring boundaries. These visual echoes awaken our collective memory, evoking emotions and subconscious associations linked to our shared human experience. Like threads woven through time, these motifs resurface, evolving yet retaining their primal power.
