MOTHER EARTH HOUSE
Installed two decades ago, in the heart of Parque das Dunas, the sculpture, “Mother Earth House”, was conceived by Maurício Panella, inspired by the indigenous traditions and adobe houses of Brazil and West Africa. The work was created in celebration of the arrival of the French thinker Edgard Morin to Brazil, at the invitation of the Complexity Study Group (UFRN), of which Panella was a researcher. The inauguration was held on October 12, 2003.
The construction process was collaborative. Initially erected with rods, the structure came to life with the addition of clay, shaped not only by Maurício Panella, but also by people going to Parque das Dunas. As a final touch, Mother Earth House was coated with a mosaic of tiles, transforming it into a complete figure, almost like a skin that surrounds its essence.
