Shipiba ceramics

The pottery represents the Shipibo worldview: everything that is up in the sky is down on the earth and both reflect each other; from there, the constellations are the rivers and the thick lines that are in the middle of them are the path of the canoe driven by the sun.

The artist mediates between the material world and the world of spirits. The creation of an object is seen as the opportunity to express their cosmic beliefs, through the strong symbolic and spiritual content of their designs.
