The piece alludes to the Cuban countryside during the era when the "mambises", riding on horseback, fought for their independence. The "Toque a degüello" was the bugle call played before a battle with no mercy or surrender. It was a sound that signalled that nothing would be spared. I transform that concept into a radical act of freedom: the moment you decide to be free, to go all the way into who you want to be, without asking permission, without holding anything back. The figure, hair wild in the wind, dress torn, without saddle, without reins, without anything to contain her, riding a black horse in full gallop across the "monte", is a declaration. Have you ever felt the urge to let it all go and be free? ........................................... Mambises: the Cuban freedom fighters of the 19th-century independence wars, known for their fearlessness and their deep connection to the land they fought to liberate. Monte, in Cuban culture, is the wild forest that surrounds the fields; a sacred space where nature, spirits, and memory converge.
