"Vientos Alisios," or trade winds in English, are the winds that blow from East to West. In this case, the artist metaphorically uses the name to reference different Colonial journeys throughout history. For instance, the first ship from left to right has Christopher Columbus's name, the one to its right belongs to Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa, and so on. Moreover, the overall flow of the piece mimics the trade winds' movement and includes elements brought from one hemisphere to another. The harps include the names of the instrument composers and well-known players.
