Description
A wooden box supports the simple frame of a house. The floor of the house has been carved and painted to look like an ocean and a ship resembling those of the Spanish conquistadors is riding the waves. On the roof of the house is a torpedo or bomb either waiting to be dropped on the Spaniards because of their decimation of indigenous populations or in reference to the Spaniards massive annihilation of and disrespect for other cultures.
