"Two doves face each other over an olive branch, a symbol of all those who appropriate peace to justify permanent confrontation.

War feeds on duality, peace feeds on unity. It is in this polarity that the model of language and thought is established that creates division among humanity.
Poverty exists in opposition to wealth, victory in opposition to defeat, strength in opposition to weakness, health in opposition to illness. Duality generates imbalance and war. Two parties can confront each other, one cannot."

The guerrilla queen
"This queen was an icon of Prussia with great honor and as a guerilla warrior she is good. fighting for the people with courage.
It represents so many pioneering and brave women who have not worn crowns, and have left us great marks."

Cork doll 'Marshmallow'
"Fallas are denatured and they all seem the same, so bland, they don't criticize, when before it was primordial."

In search of fire
"We have made a parable with fire and technology, which can seem like utopia, and much more in this place."

Alien tourists
"Tourists from other worlds, they look like tourists, not in vain, their appearance confuses us, because they are not from these regions.
Daring but free, they have reached the falla, they want to rewrite history, Valencia has captivated them."

The law of gravity
"The mobiles have arrived and today they are with force, which has us all tied up and often in serious penance.
Living tied ti a mobile is not a good or healthy thing, or you'll end up well crushed...without hearing a bell."

The rubber and real duck
"This rubber duck wants to establish a relationship with reality, it's no joke, between dream and fiction."

Fashion victim
"It is a victim of fashion and that entails suffering, depending so much on clothes, designs and accessories."

Eco Ninja Turtle
"We wanted to represent, between reality and fiction, a real problem that is not easy to fix today.
The turtle is that person who fights with good conscience, to leave a clean world as a good inheritance, which is so urgent."
