“Ash is the trail of fire, it is the misery that leaves the dead land, the closest step to death. From this ash is reborn the mythological figure of the Phoenix which awakens gold from the ashes being eternal and immortal as the ideas. Cendra i Or is the permanent state towards change to face the obstacles and impediments that raise us day by day, a song to catch air and to leave the pit of misery.”
