Pacha Mama
A Visual Offering to the Spirit of the Living Earth
This collection of 17 images is a reverent tribute to Pacha Mama, the Andean Earth Mother, guardian of all life, fertility, and cosmic balance. Each image is a portal—depicting the sacred union between Buddha-nature and the living soil, stone, root, flower, and breath of the Earth herself.
From serene Bodhisattvas cradled by ancient trees, to divine faces emerging from the ground in mandalas of lotus, vines, and sunbeams—these images remind us that the Earth is not inert matter, but a holy being: conscious, generative, and deeply interconnected with our spiritual awakening.
The fusion of meditative stillness and natural form expresses a truth long known to the Indigenous heart: that enlightenment is not separate from nature, and that wisdom flows upward from the roots.
Pacha Mama is not just the ground beneath us—
She is the breath within us,
The pulse of sacred time,
The womb from which we rise,
And the arms into which we dissolve.
This series is a prayer in form.
An honoring.
A remembering.
A returning.
