The "Capitán Miranda" is a sailing ship of the National Navy of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay. Originally, it served as a hydrographic ship for oceanographic research and the preparation of nautical charts, before becoming a training ship in 1977.

Walking through the beautiful port of Fredrikstad in Norway, and admiring the sailboats participating in the Tall Ships Races, it was impossible not to be captivated by this ship, which displays the sun emblem of the renowned and award-winning plastic artist Carlos Páez Vilaró on its sails.

It stood out for its originality and color. Remembering these beautiful characteristics, I decided to capture the symbols, drawings, and colors on the sails of a different sailboat, one that evokes a feeling of nostalgia and longing for a rather dreamlike past—a ship imagined sailing the Baltic Sea while the sunset paints the waves.
