The impossible fusion of two universes
We can see a man who is trying to stay in hand of a woman. This woman is the allegory of dream. Indeed it is very complicated for this man to catch her because this is theoretically impossible. In fact, the man will always try to stay with the Dream but this won't happen.
Technical/Specification about the statue
This statue belongs to the Modernism (modernismo in spanish). The principle is combining a rich variety of historically derived elements. It is characterized by the predominance of curve over the straight line, by rich detail and decoration, and by the frequent use vegetal and organic motifs. It is the taste for asymmetry and a refined aestheticism and dynamic shapes.
