It is a multimedia work consisting of 5 wood logs (Juglans Nigra wood trunk) in their original state that support the six containers made of corn flour, husk of maize and copper wire. Informed by Pre-Columbian culture, this installation is an interactive piece that looks for a connection with the viewer through direct participation, in which the dialogue and relational moments make the piece complete.

Symbols of Peruvian Pre-Columbian cultures accompany the pieces, alongside some words in Quechua. Words that are not only engraved on the vessels but also are reproduced in a loop recording audio through a speaker.

The Quechua words referred above are just a few words that belong to the heritage of Precolumbian civilization in Peru, which still survives as a kind of resistance to colonialism.
