The ZOOMDOUT Pachamama t-shirts are out just in time for this Memorial Day weekend! Well, at least the tail-end of it. The spiraling Anaconda vortex is the Andean symbol for Pachamama, the Andean goddess/ deity that etymologically breaks down to mean "The Mother World" (Pacha meaning World and Mama obviously meaning Mother). The near-eternal word comes from the ancient Andean language, Quechua. While travelling through Peru last year I noticed this psychedelic spiral to be present nearly everywhere. It's even featured at the national level and recognized as some sort of embedded cultural emblem.

The presence of Gaia was abundantly overflowing in Peru. Whether you were trekking through bright-green, claustrophilic jungles or hiking up a monumental mountain; whether you were dangling your feet over the awe-inspiring edge of the giant Colca Canyon or experiencing the unfurling of rich nocturnal noises in the Amazon basin—nature appeared to be blasting out life using her Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound System. A constant beating and booming of life in its purest form—from its people to its deserts.
The Peruvian people seemed to be deeply connected with Mother Earth in a way that appears to be unconsciously absent from other, more mechanical cultures around the world. In Peru, for example, a palpable existence of other-worldly reverence for the Land of the Mother is evident. A deep respect and conscious appreciation for Pachamama is blatantly displayed by the humble offerings people make to The Mother. You'll find tall stacks of stone and coca leaves diligently positioned all throughout the mountainous Andean region. These offerings are signs of respectful recognition of this higher intelligence and life-guiding order.

This Pachamama t-shirt is screen-printed on a silky blend of 70 percent bamboo and 30 percent organic cotton. This obvious "I love NY" hack is a ZOOMDOUT interpretation of what a ZOOMDOUT head should really be loving—Mother Nature. Eco-consciousness in the west is still in its infancy. There is much more to learn in order to be able to balance inevitable technological progress and environmental sustainability. In addition to the message, believe me when I tell you, these the freshest feeling t-shirts you'll ever have the pleasure of wearing—both materially and aesthetically speaking, of course.
