Species are eternally in constant metamorphosis and co-exist in harmony, offering their talents as gifts. It represents life and happiness. The ape in the first row concentrating in listening to the melodies, with a melancholic look, contemplates the perpetual transformation circle of species. The half-human bird figure playing music instruments is inspired by the species of bird, called Eastern Meadowlark (Sabanero in Spanish). This bird is often seen in the Cuban countryside. It forms part of the artist’s childhood memory.  It plays at the same time the harp-like and guitar-like instrument, and the drum to express its positivity and happiness.  The tiny rooster behind is singing a song and its voice creates energy reaching far to other human-like creatures in another dimension, received as a message of harmony. The ape represents the closest form of life to human beings, but a perfect version without any intention to destroy the planet and appreciates the harmonic music with intelligence.
