This is the second in the Gallo series and was donated for auction in August of 2012. It moves the Cuban nostalgic thread forward another step. It is dedicated to Jose Marti, a revolutionary who fought for Cuba’s independence and a poet. What a mix! In this piece the island is enclosed in a poem by Marti, “Cultivo Una Rosa Blanca” while the poet’s visage is hidden in the feathers.
