Pacha Mama or Pachamama (from Quechua Pacha, “universe”, “world”, “time”, “place”, and Mama, “mother”,[1] “Mother Earth”) is the highest deity of the indigenous peoples of the central Andes .

Several authors consider Pachamama as a deity related to the earth, fertility, a mother, the feminine.

Microecosystem experiment created in a heart sculpted in clay with bioconstruction principles. An internal pipe was established with roots and herbs that allow long drainage. Pests, creepers, fungi like witch's butter and flowers like white lilies were planted on the sculpture in different parts of the sculpture (far and close to irrigation). Almost dry plants were also applied, as well as live ones with roots.

The experiment was placed in extremely humid soil (part of the pipe close to the rainwater and river, and the other side in dry cement soil.

Pachamama is a heart at the center of the world that pulsates and irrigates a diversity that questions: What comes from nature, what is good and bad?
