"!Que huevo; Boricua!" litho and screen print

I refer to the street vernacular used in Puerto Rico meaning "what an error." Boricua is the name used by Puerto Ricans to identify native inhabitants of the island. The content is an inference to the U. S. and its relationship to Puerto Rico. Webster's Dictionary defines homeostasis as "A state of equilibrium between different but interrelated functions or elements as in an organism or group." I have used the computer to facilitate my examination of this static state or equilibrium.
