Brief description: This painting shows us scenes from 4 different worlds – in two worlds the flora, fauna and cultural wealth of the Harakbut people are observed; in the other two worlds deforestationand the disappearance of species from the Harakbut forests. In the third prostitution, alcoholism, drugs and other evils that gold mining leaves us. In the center appears an elder Harakbut woman who observes these worlds and it seems that she is disappearing but that will depend on the Harakbut youth and others who protect the jungle and all the riches that the Amazon forest houses.
