"The huipil is a symbolic universe; when a Mayan woman places it over her head, she emerges through the opening for the neck onto the axis of the world…Here the supernatural and the ordinary converge. Here is the nucleus of a woven world of dream and myths, she floats between heaven and the world below". *
"The huipil is woman's personal declaration that she has preserved the wisdom of the saints or ancestors. She is a woman alone, who has cried and learned how to move the universe herself".*
