Pink Potato The potato is a symbol latinoamerica´s an ecuatodorian culture. Is a pretty suggestive fully charge of semiotics and stimulating element to work and develope visual representations of female issues and it relatioship between andean ancestral history. This artwork is the lab result of a research about the bonds of the potato as a basic piece of meal for average ecuadorian people and the potato as an object and subject of tradicional rituals. I studied the potato element as a subject of matter that unifyies the idea of the pacha mama, and breaks up the andean female and sexual identity.
