This sculpture transports the visitor into the intimate, feminine and oneiric world of Victoria Civera as the artist recalls a childhood friend. An autobiographical work which is complex and ambiguous in appearance and whose symbolic and mysterious forms in close proximity to Surrealism engender multiple interpretations of its meaning. Visitors are called upon to be alive to detail in their approach.
