Pacha mama in the Andean belief system means Mother Earth. This design project is for Pachamama to find places to grow and bring awareness on how the citizens of Quito are getting separated from her. The city of Quito became a walled and contaminated place where nature does not find places to exist.

They are made using basic design skills and easy access materials like old cloths, plastic shopping bags and broomsticks.

The designer acts as a temporal nurturer for the PachaMama Pots in search for spaces where they can be left and adopted by other citizens. The designer channels through these placings the silent claims of Mother Nature.
