The Parade: Abyssal Quixote occupies a unique place within the Yctyogenesis universe—a point where myth, ancestry, and evolutionary speculation converge into a single, commanding figure. Aurelio Milera reimagines Don Quixote not as the wandering knight of the Castilian plains, but as a creature born of the deep: a visionary spirit navigating an oceanic future shaped by collapse, adaptation, and transformation.

The central figure holds a powerful duality. Its profile echoes the dignity and determination of Cervantes’ archetype—the dreamer who insists on imagination even as the world fractures—while its body fuses with abyssal anatomy: layered fins, armored plates, tendrils, and organic structures that anchor it within Yctyogenesis’s biological mythology. This is a Quixote who survives not by resisting change, but by evolving beyond it.

Surrounding forms evoke Spanish baroque drama and marine biodiversity, creating a dialogue between heritage and futurism. The composition suggests ritual procession—an ascent of beings rising from the depths, carrying echoes of old epics and new destinies. Faces embedded within the creature’s form feel ancestral, as if generations have been folded into its bones.

In this work, the absurdity of Quixote becomes transcendence: a symbol of the human instinct to persist, reinvent, and dream against all odds. The Parade: Abyssal Quixote stands as an affirmation that identity, imagination, and evolution are inseparable. Even at the edge of transformation, the spirit of the dreamer endures.

Its symbolic weight and narrative ambition give it particular resonance as an acquisition, marking it as one of the most significant works within the Yctyogenesis series.
