About the design:
Lola painted green watercolor strokes that I turned into hills and rice terraces.
Lola’s parents had many hustles in the Philippines, among them growing rice. Lola would tell me that entails sewing seeds with a water buffalo, spending days bent over pulling weeds, reaping the harvest and threshing. It’s a process long and laborious. And she loved it.
Looking back, I recognize that Lola spoke about farming rice and raising all of us in a similar fashion. She never complained how much she had to labor to foster a single grain of rice to grow. - U011
