SHIELD/CORAZA @ FIGMENT 2009 references the strength and individuality of people when coping with a major challenge, change or treat in their lives. Individually, the umbrellas represent the protection created by or around each person.  As a whole, it signifies a stronger presence as it references the unity and power of a group.  Thus the SHIELD (CORAZA in Spanish) relates visually to the popular saying “there is strength in numbers,” while at the same time, it alludes to protection, individuality, and unity. During the day, the white-shiny umbrellas will attract visitors to the island. At night, they’re light by small solar powered LED lights.
