The composition portrays three essential stages of its creation: the initial phase, in which the artisan establishes the structure and begins the first woven sections; an intermediate stage, where the base is assembled and the cylindrical form gradually takes shape; and finally, the completed finished piece.The artwork is inspired by the craftsmanship of Gonzalo Herrera Herrera, an artisan from the community of Purio, who has been handcrafting motetes since 1992. Through his knowledge, dedication, and years of experience, he has helped preserve a tradition that forms an important part of the region's cultural heritage.Beyond illustrating a traditional craft, this mural seeks to honor the value of knowledge passed down from generation to generation and to recognize the artisans who keep these traditions alive. Each scene reflects the dedication, patience, and mastery required to create a motete, while highlighting the close relationship between traditional craftsmanship and rural life.Thank you for taking a few moments to learn about this story. This mural seeks to preserve and share the traditional knowledge behind the motete, recognizing the value of the artisans who keep this tradition alive for future generations.CreditsArtist: Jasson SáenzInspired by the craftsmanship of: Gonzalo Herrera HerreraReference photography: Jasson SáenzFinal mural photography: NC StudioCreated as part of the Pedasí Colorido 2026 Festival, Pedasi, Panama. https://streetartcities.com/media/7/7b9819b4-eff2-4a98-b0c8-f989f8fc4992/1024.jpg 1024 480 480 <iframe src="https://streetartcities.com/markers/f31e8544-0ffd-4c6e-a451-b8d9d6ecab34/embed" width="480" height="480" style="border:none;border-radius:12px;max-width:100%;" loading="lazy" allow="fullscreen; storage-access" title="Motete Weaving Process by Jasson Saenz "></iframe> 3600
