The Dig Team tee speaks to many different aspects of Bone Dry, and we figured we should break them down in a little more detail for you all.
Firstly, the design featured on this tee is a reinterpretation of the “Heron” land art found in the Sechura Desert of Peru. The Nazca tribe inhabited this high desert in early 700 A.D., where they inscribed these large geoglyphs into the mountains. Stretching over hundreds of feet, these geoglyphs can be the size of football fields, yet they are only carved about 2 inches deep into the ground. The depth of these geoglyphs would normally result in them being washed away or otherwise destroyed by environmental forces, but the climate of the Sechura Desert creates the ideal conditions for these to remain. The Sechura Desert is one of the driest deserts in the world, and only receives rainfall during El Niño years, where it may sometimes even flood. The unique characteristics of this desert have created an environment where the Nazca people were not only able to carve out these wondrous geoglyphs, but allow them to remain relatively untouched for more than hundreds of years.
