River that gives birth to the sea

50 x 50 CM gouache on cotton canvas hand embroidery and beading 2025 This piece was crated while I lived in Paraguay, therefore very naturally it is infused with the energy of this country. The name "Paraguay" has several possible origins, all rooted in the Guaraní language and indigenous heritage, but no single definitive meaning is agreed upon: One popular interpretation is that Paraguay means “river that gives birth to the sea” or “water that gives birth”, combining Guaraní words para (water) and guay (born), reflecting the importance of the Paraguay River flowing through the country and feeding into larger waterways.
