The figure’s shorts incorporate the flags of various Latin American countries, serving as a visual metaphor for a contemporary Florida shaped by diverse roots, histories, and migratory movements. The piece invites reflection on belonging, identity, and cultural transformation: in a territory where almost everyone comes from somewhere else, diversity becomes a driving force for renewal.

Emblematic elements—such as the McAlpin building in Miami Beach, a classic car, Mickey Mouse, an alligator, space exploration, Interstate 95, and the State of Florida seal—interact to construct a visual portrait of Florida’s collective memory. Through the language of Pop Art, Carlos Apitz fuses nostalgia, cultural critique, and a celebration of Florida Art diversity, creating a piece that transcends the typical tourist souvenir to become a statement on Florida’s Latin roots.
