ALL THINGS HAVE A SPIRIT | 2027 Yi Embroidery Calendar

Inspired by the animal world, the 2027 Yi Embroidery Calendar explores the idea that all things in nature have a spirit and a place within the greater cycle of life.

Rooted in generations of observation, the animal motifs reflect the Yi people's understanding of the natural world — shaped by the rhythms of the mountains, fields, and agricultural life. Rather than defining nature through human ideas of good and evil, right and wrong, they portray life in its natural state, where different beings coexist, interact, and maintain a delicate balance.

Through these embroidered expressions, the calendar offers a glimpse into an ecological wisdom passed down through generations: a way of seeing the world not as separate parts, but as an interconnected whole in which all living things have their place.

The 2027 calendar brings traditional Yi animal motifs into an everyday desktop companion.

Featuring embroidery-inspired designs drawn from the animal world, it celebrates the vitality and diversity of nature while offering a window into the cultural imagination and artistic traditions of the Yi people.

More than a calendar, it is a year-long invitation to appreciate the living world and the connections we share with it.

Drawing on the visual language of traditional Yi embroidery, the calendar translates animal motifs into a contemporary paper format.

The designs reflect the Yi people's close relationship with nature and their observations of the world around them. Through the expressive forms and details of embroidery, these motifs preserve a distinctive way of seeing and interpreting life.

Place it on your desk or shelf as a daily reminder of the world beyond your immediate surroundings.

Throughout the year, its animal motifs bring a touch of traditional craft and a thoughtful connection to nature into everyday spaces.
