The artwork is crafted from various colorful textiles, yarns, and embroidery floss, appliquéd onto a red fabric ground to create a three-dimensional, relief effect. The composition features stylized figures in traditional dress, some in boats, alongside dwellings and a flamingo. The word “UROS” is prominently stitched in multi-colored block letters across a central boat, referencing the Uros people and their floating islands. The piece is housed within a simple, gold-toned wooden frame.
