Artist, Cuban, born 1967

The image displays a view from the shore across a body of water towards a distant cityscape. The shoreline features rocks and debris, with the wreck of a large boat leaning into the water. Thin lines and strings stretch upwards from the boat. The horizon is low, where the water meets the sky. In the distance to the right, a cluster of tall buildings marks an urban setting. The image uses a monochromatic gray color palette and depicts heavy clouds in the sky, indicating an overcast day.
