The colonization of Puerto Rico by the United States, and whether Puerto Rico should become a state or gain it's independence.

"Estamos Unidos" (We are united) it's a pun in reference to how to say the United States in Spanish (Estados Unidos). I put the American flag on a vegigante, a mask typically made by indigenous Tainos of Puerto Rico, a symbol of our history and culture.
