Donde sueña el demiurgo, 1997, was created for the 6th Biennial of Havana, which main subject was "Individual and Memories". The work was commisioned as part of "Indoor Enclosures" one of three exhibitions that composed the Biennial and was placed in The Cabaña Fortress. The piece is a metaphor of God as a worker, celebrating work as a creation of the divine process. Paying tribute to the inherent creativity found in a wide array of professions –including teachers, doctors, engineers, philosophers, writers, musicians, and artists. It is comprised of a house constructed out of recycled materials, inhabited by puppets, drawings, writings, and domestic objects. Upon entering the house, one encounters a multitude of intricately carved and costumed puppets depicting notable thinkers and creator across time. Other walls are covered from baseboard to rafter, with hundreds of drawings and Xeroxes depicting a strangle yet wonderful world of thoughts, ideas, and creations: humans fused with architecture, animals merged with machines, flying contraptions made out of domestic debris. The piece was also exhibited at Bakalar Gallery, Massachussets College of Art in Boston during the Artist-in-residence program in 2002.
