Mi Tierra
Inspired by my Salvadorian culture, this thesis project brings hand-crocheted designs from artisans in El Salvador as well as crochet techniques that I taught myself. “Mi Tierra,” meaning “My Land,” honors my beautiful Central American country. I wanted to celebrate the crochet artistry I saw while on a trip to El Salvador and also include the earthy tones seen on our mountains and volcanoes.

“Dios, Union, Libertad” is the motto for El Salvador. Colors inspired by Salvadorian street art.
