| dc.description | Context view, showing tilted "face" at top of white kite-like mask; The Olympic Village was created over the bones of the Somorrostro neighborhood as part of the residential rezoning for the 1992 Olympic Games, and this sculpture commissioned for the Olympic Village site. However, due to technical problems, it was not inaugurated until a few months after the Games, in December 1992. Llena’s floating, kite-like mask is effortlessly supported on three delicate, twisting tendrils. In the artist’s own words, the sculpture is meant, ghostlike, to evoke the billowing “sheets drying on balconies” of the vanished neighborhood. Hence the symbolism of a triumphant David: the little people have overcome the giant-like powers of urban development.
