For conceptual reasons, Herrera makes it difficult to discern what is found imagery and what is drawn by the artist; where one patch of paper ends and another begins; and what materials, precisely, he has used. A large swatch of pre-painted mustard-colored paper floats over an abstract image painted by the artist. All other collaged fragments are carefully adhered to the surface and outlined in such a way that it becomes virtually impossible to sort out the layers, which makes the tenuous attachment of the larger, colored rectangular patch appear intentional.
