This hand-stitched mola textile from the Kuna people of Panama brings an ancient story to life through vibrant color and intricate craft. Made using the reverse appliqué technique, it illustrates the tale of Jonah, who tries to escape his fate but is swallowed by a whale. After three days, he returns to land – changed and awakened. For the Kuna, the ocean holds deep spiritual meaning, and the whale represents both protection and transformation. This piece is a vivid fusion of biblical narrative and Indigenous wisdom, rendered with color, skill, and cultural storytelling.
