Mending Textiles in Merida

by Patricia Ho

Under the flat, diffused light of an overcast midday in Merida, a vendor stands behind a weathered wooden stall on Calle 60, his hands busy sorting through a woven mending basket filled with colorful threads and spools. Beside the basket, a cluster of garlic bulbs rests near a stack of terracotta bowls, their earthy tones muted by the gray sky. The vendor’s focus is intense as he uses a crochet hook to repair a tear in a nearby textile, the bristles of a discarded brush splayed at the tips on the counter. A vintage majolica plate sits empty, reflecting the dull light, while fresh citrus peel adds a splash of bright orange against the worn wood.
