This work is inspired by the women of Oaxaca, in the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, who spend their afternoons at the market, resting and relaxing.
The Isthmus of Tehuantepec (tewanteˈpek, or "jaguar mountain") is the narrow stretch of land between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. Before the opening of the Panama Canal, it was a major overland transport route known simply as the Tehuantepec Route.
