El Agua De Niebla is named after the nets set by farmers in the mountains of Chile to collect the water from the clouds and irrigate their crops. The 72,000 meters of nylon used to create this 41-meter-long hammock were woven daily by several families at the village school of Mayapán, over an eight-week period. When Melik Ohanian met with them he had expressed the desire to make a hammock for his father – a giant.
