Construït en clau de poema únic, I ser d'on no sóc porta a una tercera dimensió aquesta exploració de l'ésser -comuna als dos volums anteriors de l'autor- no pas des del racionalisme absolut, sinó a través d'unes imatges duals que remeten al món exterior, d'una banda, i a la interioritat humana, de l'altra. És l'ésser que s'atura davant dels enigmes del món, l'ésser capaç de repensar la seva existència a través d'una mirada bipartida forjada més en la controvèrsia que no pas en la contemplació estricta.

??????????? That Happiness Thing:? A Hometown Fable is a children?s book that poses the age-old question, ?What is happiness??

With a little help from an elderly gentleman and a magical snow globe, he discovers that true happiness isn?t about having the most of everything, but making the most of everything you have.

Although I conceived and designed it as a children?s picture book aimed at 5 to 10-year-olds, the
