Notice New York in the foreground of the painting, and the favela (MV, for Malvina, the favela where they live) in the background.
This painting was supposed to illustrate a short story, by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, about the first steps of man on the moon.... And the kids managed to drop the favela in the middle of it all! Dani, with whom they did this work, was devastated - 'It's got nothing to do with Drummond! Why do they always have to come back to these themes, favelas, guns and drugs?'
