This series is the expression of the journey towards the core (the essence), and also the meaning of standing outside all things or heading towards the opposite side: standing within all things. The need to create a perfect environment for reflection was the reason for a multimedia exhibition, which included a mini-talk and the launching of a book, both presented by its author, Professor Juan Enrique Guerrero.
The inauguration of this exhibition, shared with my friend and painter Eduardo Valladares, was held at the International Press Center in Havana City on April 21, 1997.
