This work was selected for the 5th Havana Bienal in 1994 (directed by Llilian Llanes) which would have been hugely significant for Centurión at the time. The Havana Bienal had already established a reputation for its championing of artists from the Global South and in particular Latin America and the Caribbean.

In his work, Centurión often welcomed a clash between kitsch, quaint designs and his own highly personal, visual and textual additions. Unlike the cheap, plain woolen blankets that the artist often used, this cushion appears more decadent, it has a deep purple silk trim and an ornate, almost baroque, floral design. Centurión chose to decorate this cushion further with the embroidered figure of an angel, another nod towards his beliefs and an engagement with religious imagery.

With its embroidered additions, this work occupies a middle ground between artwork and functional object. After its selection for the Havana Bienal, it was transported into the public sphere, destined to be put on display for infinite future audiences. This juxtaposition - of public and private, of the home and the gallery - reminds the viewer that the artist's work carries a self-revealing quality. It demonstrates his emotional willingness to bare all and to share even the most intimate parts of his life.
