Why is this image so special to me? Because it represents everything I love about my beloved Mexico. This illustration doesn’t show the feathered serpent, but instead a hand-carved pheasant — a piece of folk art that reflects the living creativity of our people. Its vivid colors — green, lilac, and orange — shine beneath a deep night sky, while in the background, quiet and majestic, rises the Pyramid of Teotihuacán. This image is special because it speaks of our connection to the handmade, to what carries history, to what should never be forgotten. The pheasant isn’t just a figure; it’s an ancient voice, a symbol still beating strong today. And the pyramid… the pyramid is always there, reminding us of who we are and how much we’re worth. Carrying this image on a reusable flask isn’t just about carrying an object — it’s about carrying a message, a whisper from eternity, a way of holding on to what truly matters. Minerva B. Escorza
