This series of engravings starts from the desire to portray a mirage, a bed that is not there. A symbolic bed that is configured on the images of possible beds, which inhabit possible houses, to respond to the desire for rest and calm, for isolation and reconciliation, in contrast with the restless thrusts of everyday life.
