This exposition "invites us to reach the ideal state of reasoning with the predominance of the oneiric basement. It is a delivery where it is addressed the validity of dreams and institutes them as an effective vehicle towards the goals and the projects. In this way, she transports us to experience a universe invented by the author, not with the aim of changing or disguise reality, but with the intention of externalizing a world that she builds for herself and wishes to share with us", explained in the Words to the Catalog, the gallerist, curator and specialist Yaniel Perez Guerra.

Perez Guerra also says that "the conceptual platform of the proposal of Martha Jimenez establishes a contagious mobile towards perseverance from the chimerical and emotional state. Its thematic value lies in the enunciation of a discourse in the form of a cogwheel, which meshes with the oneiric sense of life, the satirical burlesque and the need for flight
to freedom of thought".

Among the pieces exhibited in the exposition are, Bride, an intervened printing in cardboard; Breakfast at night, a mixed media on canvas; and a work without title, elaborated in glazed ceramics.
