Description:
 
Artwork representing the ancestral worldview: the sacred temple is life, trees and plants are alive like us, and it is our duty to protect them and live in balance to achieve “el buen vivir” (the good life).
 
Center of interest:
The sacred tree Ficus religiosa, the only one that defies the gravity of light, stylized around a female figure as a tribute to women. In the mystical world, this tree is associated with Ayahuasca, the mother of all plants.
When someone reaches adulthood, they must perform a rite of connection with the mother plant beneath this tree.
