The work of Jenny Feal, Franco-Cuban artist, has been inspired by memories accumulated through encounters in her native island. (...) The artist traveled a few years ago to Zaza, a small town in the province of Sancti Spiritus, Cuba. This is where her family began their history on the island, after leaving Spain in the early 20th century.

Guayabera II, a piece that is part of the installation called 'A la sombra y con sombreros', an installation presented with elements dear to the artist: two hats, a hammock and a guayabera. These objects were made of glass, with a combination of the colors red and white (...) Linked to this experience, a guayabera is placed as a vow, on a modest wooden shelf. It too has a red stain, well dispersed in the depth of this garment. Was it worn by a peasant? These everyday objects are part of an enigmatic story, of a disappearance. The viewer may think that this person will never return, because everything is absent. 'Guayabera' is an evocation of the dreams and dramas of a Cuban countryside that has been confiscated, frozen and at the same time mistreated, spoiled and forgotten.
