In Arbol de los Sueños (Tree of Dreams), the artist utilizes aesthetics and utilitarianism to create a scene that echoes a tree of life, symbolizing the cyclical nature of existence. At the center of the composition, Leiva superimposes a tree surrounded by esoteric structures, lanterns, and ornaments in colored outlines that suspend the viewer's contemplation. Embedding these visual elements with alternating geometric patterns, the scenes depict a parallel world alongside the artist’s daily life.
