Zaine's beautifully detailed "Prickly Pollinators" design is her personal pushback against the commonly mis-held idea of the desert as a barren landscape.

As her design shows, the desert is an environment bursting with vibrant, interconnected life and color. This colorful, kaleidoscopic design is inspired by the growth, prosperity, and abundance that the desert provides as an ecosystem that feeds and sustains countless species in West Texas.

As with much of her other work, Zaine's design also aims to explore the softer, more feminine side of the cactus and the desert as whole. Through the pollinating ecosystem it supports, Zaine explores the desert's role as life-giver and nurturer. She centers the animals, insects, and plants that work together seamlessly to give the desert it's unique, alluring appeal. Coupled with influences from traditional Mexican blockprinting and the simple line work of artist Gustave Baumann, Zaine's design is a wonderful, wearable reminder that the desert is a place bursting with life, energy, and color.
