Moreno creates this elaborate Alebrije sculpture, which he handcrafts from recycled papier mache. Alebrijes are a fairly recent Mexican art form, attributed to Pedro Linares. Unconscious due to illness in 1936, he was presumed near death and yet his dreams were extremely vivid. He tells of a place where all was peaceful and quiet until all of a sudden there appeared a lion with an eagle's head, a rooster with bull's horns, and a donkey with butterfly wings. They kept screeching "Alebrije, Alebrije!" and Pedro began running away. He encountered a man who told him it was not yet his time to be there are and he should continue running towards the exit. In this dream, Pedro climbed out of a window and regained consciousness. Bungalow Rose
