This meditating man represents the artist. Dodi Espinosa believes that by reaching a state of awakening, trance or deep concentration man embodies his true self. In this state of mind he rediscovers his animal side and becomes one with nature and the universe. The sculpture refers to a monkey since according to Espinosa’s date of birth, his name in Nahuatl - the language spoken by the Aztecs - would be 'Ozomalcalli' or 'House of Monkeys'.
