I underwent a surgery in which a piece of my skin, 6 centimeters in circumference, was removed. After this, the tissue was dissected by an art conservator and introduced into a gold medal which resembles the one that the Cuban Government gives to a few selected citizens. Around the scar on my body the technical details of the work were tattooed, remaining as a permanent register of this commemoration.
