An island with a background of the sea and three compasses to measure the bearing of a boat in black, white, beige and green.
It looks like a collage, because of the superposition of images and the caharacteristics of serigraphy technique.
On the upper photographs of the Acapulco Bay are combine, each one with different concentration of color. Below them there are a some navigation tools for drawing maps on a striped sheet. In between there are a little image, a silhouette from the bay and in both low corners are two colored areas that support the image as if they were holding a postcard. The piece is relataed to the artist´s birthplace.
