This print shows a map of Cuba with two giant black hands holding it up. The hands are cracked like old stone, and the map behind them is faded pink with tiny writing. Wavy lines fill the bottom half like water or sky. The hands look like they’re protecting or framing the island. The artist used two printing methods—one for the hands, one for the map—to make the whole thing. Look up woodcut next to see how this technique works.
