This sculpture is made of 4 rickety, rusty, metal and glass cubes that look like a toy house. The name The Wounded Star was given to it for a reason. This is a requiem from the creator of the monument to everything that no longer exists: the dreams that never came true, the places that used to be full of life but are now empty, the things that could have happened but didn’t, but the most important thing — our youth, that is so short.

The place for the monument was also chosen for a reason: here, right near the water, in the La Barceloneta district, there were slums and a poor fishing town. Families with a lot of children lived here in very small barracks and there were serenades and men went to the sea to feed their families. Later, the beaches were filled with the legendary chiringuitos (something like a makeshift bar), which were removed right before the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. This was how the city lost a part of their individuality. Now, there is a clean beach in Sant Miquel and nothing is reminiscent of the life of the past. Only this monument about dreams.
