"I've always been fascinated by the giant kites that are flown in our sister country of Guatemala, specifically in Sumpango. This tablecloth is my way of uniting our beautiful neighboring countries," explains Rhina Rehmann in El Salavador of her inspiration. A tradition that originated with the ancient Mayas, kite-flying on November 1st represents the connection between the dead and the living, when the doors of the underworld are opened and they are let out. Detailed in white, the florid composition is crafted by hand with traditional batik techniques on the cotton tablecloth. The rich blue background comes from the natural indigo dyes harvested and prepared at Rehmann's hacienda.

The painstaking process involved in the creation of the tablecloth takes between five and ten days to complete.
