This large wood sculpture celebrates **Puerto Rican culture and heritage**. It’s likely a temporary exhibit organized by the **Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña** (Puerto Rican Institute of Culture), whose name is visible (in reverse) on the canopy. Elements represented: * **El Morro Fortress** (Castillo San Felipe del Morro) and other Spanish colonial architecture from Old San Juan. * The **Puerto Rican Flag** and the bright red **flor de maga** (Puerto Rico's national flower). * A **cotorra puertorriqueña** (Puerto Rican parrot/Amazon), a critically endangered endemic species. * A **cuatro** (string instrument resembling a small guitar), the national instrument of Puerto Rico. Commonly used in jíbaro music (folk music of the mountain people). * A **garita** (sentry box), the iconic small tower seen throughout the major forts, often serving as a symbol of the island. * A figure wearing a **pava** (traditional straw hat), representing the jibaro (rural person/farmer) heritage. * The overall composition suggests the island rising from the sea, linking its history and natural world.
