Artist, Mexican, born 1942

The image shows multiple small fish arranged in neat rows on a surface. The color palette is monochromatic black and white, emphasizing the contrast between the fish and their backgrounds. The fish are spread across the surface in a uniform pattern. In the upper right corner, a person's hand is visible reaching into the scene. The fish have a consistent orientation, all facing the same direction, and cover nearly the entire visible area of the image.
