For centuries, philosophers—along with many artists—have wondered whether reality is truly something "out there," whether it consists simply of what we can see and touch, or if, on the contrary, it is a projection of the individual. The analytic philosopher Nelson Goodman argued that "We constitute our worlds by constructing them," and this idea opens the door to endless interpretations. Yet, ultimately, the question here revolves around the existence of a plurality of worlds. Is there, then, a place where the self of the human being can break down the barriers of space and time, reaching a state of "being" by dancing within a kaleidoscope of lights and shadows? A macrocosm within a microcosm, a journey to a land that appears close yet is made distant by the screen that serves as a dividing wall.
