Wicker

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 10 May 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual.

Wicker is any sort of hard woven fiber formed into a useful object. Wicker is usually used for baskets or furniture. Traditional wicker is made of material of plant origin, but nowadays also plastic fibers are used.
Materials used can be any part of a plant, such as the cores or canes of rattan stalks, or the whole thickness, as with willow switches. Other popular materials include reed and bamboo.

Our lives are just like these fibers, entertwined (if that's the correct word...), what happens to one, has an effect on the rest. I wonder how much time it took a person to weave this... uff! looks like tons of work. Great pic mi pana! =)

@paperdoll: Thank you very much Paperdoll, I agree with your words, we are connected and everything we do has an effect on the rest, every action we take affects the environment! =)
