| Artist's comments |

"The mother tapir passes over her baby with her tongue, stroking him after walking through the jungle, where they feel very quiet without injury. There nobody troubles, neither persecutes them. This is a noon, a day of summer. Every tree, bush, plant, vine, airplant, parasite, epiphytal, mushroom and other plant breathes and lives in a peaceful way to preserve to the eco-system. In front at lower left is the patiquina, small palms called "yarina." We use these leaves to make houses of the field because the most people live in houses with thatched roofs. Over these plants is the plant called "Achiote." It is a medicinal plant; upper is the plant of "Intipina" which in Quechua language means "pineapple of the sun." Now this plant is in bloom. At the right is a plant. This is a banana tree but without fruit. It's name is "Situlle." It is utilized for the birds, snakes, spiders, wasps and other animals and insects as their habitat. Behind these plants are the trees - from left to right Requia (Guarea quidonia), at the center: "Shimbillo" (Inga in Spanish), Yacusshapana (Terminalia oblonga), Tahuari Amarillo (Tabebuia in Spanish). Also there are other trees in the background." |
