This exquisite mixed media work is part of the "Vivir Bajo Palabras" (Living Under Words) series by the prominent Cuban artist Jacqueline Brito Jorge. Created in Havana in 2003, the piece visually interprets the popular Spanish proverb "Cada persona es un mundo," which speaks to the infinite complexity and unique internal reality of every individual.

The artwork features Brito’s signature ethereal aesthetic—a central, stylized figure rendered with delicate, lace-like patterns and charcoal-toned shading that suggests a soul composed of memories and hidden layers. The stark contrast between the intricate white detailing and the deep black background creates a sense of profound introspection. As a graduate of the Higher Institute of Art (ISA) in Havana, Brito is celebrated for her ability to weave linguistic metaphors into visual form, making her work a staple in contemporary Latin American art collections.
