O sonho sul-americano retrata 12 figuras políticas e históricas como Marielle Franco, Aura Esther García Peñalver, Juana Azurdy de Padilla e Tupac Amaru. No lado esquerdo da pintura, a carta da Morte é representada pela figura esquelética em cima do cavalo. Esse primeiro momento da pintura remete à morte não natural, ao ciclo da vida interrompido pela violência, pois muitas dessas figuras foram assassinadas. Em escala global, isso também se refere ao ataque imperialista que os sul-americanos enfrentam ao defender seu território nativo – historicamente e atualmente. O líder inca Tupac Amaru está em frente à Roda da Fortuna, que também funciona como um moinho das estrelas que se derramam no centro da Terra. Três graças emergem do líquido das estrelas da pintura, talvez sugerindo que o mundo é de força feminina. Na terceira seção desta pintura, o arquétipo da Colheita faz referência à morte como um ciclo natural, uma ocorrência inevitável que funciona com o metabolismo da Terra.

[O sonho sul-americano (The South American Dream) portrays 12 political and historical figures, such as Marielle Franco, Aura Esther García Peñalver, Juana Azurdy de Padilla, and Tupac Amaru. On the left side of the painting, the Death card is represented by the skeletal figure on top of the horse. This first moment in the painting refers to the unnatural death, the cycle of life interrupted by violence, as many of these figures were assassinated. On a global scale, this also refers to the imperialist attack South Americans face when defending their native territory—historically and presently. In the center, Incan leader Tupac Amaru is in front of the Wheel of Fortune, which also operates as a mill of the stars that spill into the earth's center. Three graces emerge from the liquid of stars in the painting, perhaps suggesting that the world is of feminine force. In the third section of this painting, the Harvest archetype references death as a natural cycle, an inevitable occurrence that works with the earth's metabolism.]
