Hernández inserts the graphic shape of the island of Cuba into Rorshach blots and camouflage patterns. The images embody the pressure to assimilate into a new culture, while indicating a heritage that does not easily dissolve.

Hernández inserta sutilmente la forma gráfica de la isla de Cuba entre manchas similares a las de las pruebas psicológicas de Rorschach, y entre patrones de camuflaje. Las imágenes dan voz a la presión por integrarse, pero indican a la vez una herencia que no se disuelve fácilmente.
