Tower of the Dog (1993) by José Bedia presents a pictorial construction rich in symbolism, weaving architectural and animal elements into a scene that evokes both ritual and dream-states. In it one discerns the silhouette of a tower —a vertical structure, perhaps an ascent toward the sacred— upon which rests or emerges the figure of a dog or canine-human creature, suggesting an intersection between animality and human monumentality.

One may interpret the work as a reflection on the tower as symbol of power, refuge, communication between human and divine, and the dog as a link between the human world and the ancestral, the natural. In this sense, Tower of the Dog evokes the presence of the watched and the watcher, of the ritual that ascends and the animal that observes, allowing visible and invisible to coexist in a space of contemplation.
