**The collage making of** @marilour

En "Wounded nature, a balance is urgently needed," la autora muestra un fotomontaje minimalista usando un ave, el agua y la foto base de una fabrica en medio de la naturaleza propuesta por LMAC; a partir de allí realiza una silueta de una mujer, donde hace un llamado de atención a la conservación del medio ambiente, porque el ser humano, por su vanidad y su inconciencia cada vez destruye la naturaleza. Debemos unirnos para que el equilibrio natural sea tomado en cuenta. Todo esto representa esta imagen.

**The digital art of** @yanga

El autor construye la pintura en SMOKE BATHING a base de manchas rústicas, con tonos que recuerdan a la zona africana, donde fue inspirada esta obra. Sus tonos sacados de la terracota, transportan a cualquiera a la zona desértica africana, que tiene grandes dificultades para una vida común, o una vida con los recursos a los que estamos acostumbrados como una cama, o el agua. Sin embargo vemos una madre con un bebé, y con un enfoque a su rostro nos muestra que a pesar de su situación, de su necesidades, hay alegría, hay esperanza.

**The writing and photography of** @juancar347

A synesthesia of ancient buildings linked with a sense of deep belonging: Grandfather tell me... dares the reader to feel rather than go deep into hermeneutics, in a text analysis. It’s a minimalistic exposure of things that count for the narratorial voice.

**The painting of** @brunonacif

Sleep reminds one of death, and death reminds one of sleep. Akin to Schrödinger’s Cat thought experiment, it is only when one is woken up that death or sleep can be determined. In "Dormido," the artist @brunonacif embodies this idea with a sleeping figure. The visage of a skull lingers in the background almost as if death was his/her breath. The viewer is not completely sure if the figure is still alive or not. Situating the work in art history, one is reminded of Hans Holbein’s "The Ambassadors" when viewing @brunonacif’s "Dormido." However, the artwork of @brunonacif is the complete opposite. Devoid of any materialistic riches, the sleeping figure is also marked by the eventual death just like Holbein's ambassadors, and just like we need to face our inevitable end.

**The storytelling of** @gracielaacevedo

En Los alegres titiriteros, estamos en presencia de dos historias; la primera es un relato acerca del trabajo de los titiriteros, de su hermosa labor con los niños. La segunda, una obra de títeres que nos cuenta una bonita historia acerca de una despedida en una granja; al parecer, el hombre flaco y largo se siente solo y decide marcharse, detrás de él se van yendo los animales que le da por sentirse solo, hasta que alguien decide quedarse y revierte la despedida; todos deciden quedarse para no dejar solo al otro. Una bonita historia que atrapa a niños y a grandes también y que nos invita a reflexionar acerca del valor de la amistad.
