My primary intention for the project was to create a provoking and deep contemplation of Pablo Picasso’s Guernica. Is my model a true reconstruction of the Picasso’s painting, or is it merely a rough re-visualization? Is it still Picasso’s art or has it, through my addition of third dimension, become something completely different? It is not my place to answer those questions nor to determine the relationship between my three-dimensional reproduction and the original painting. Perhaps this is a question best left in the hands of critics".

The song Nana is part of Manuel de Falla’s "Seven Popular Spaniard Songs", arranged by Ana Ruth BermÃ?ºdez and Rene Izquierdo for cello and guitar. De Falla wrote the suite 1908-09 and Nana is based on a traditional lullaby from Andalusia in Spain, the region Manuel de Falla was born in 1876. De Falla became internationally recognized during his career and worked in 1919 even with Picasso. Picasso designed the set and costumes for de Falla’s "El sombrero de tres picos", which premiered with Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes at the Alhambra Theatre in London.
