Colour landscape image of the left gallery wall featuring a five-line wall text detailing the location, date, time, magnitude, and duration of the El Salvador earthquake in the foreground. Against a white wall, the titles are in both English and Spanish in smaller black text with the corresponding info in larger squiggly painted blue text. The text reads: 'Location/Ubicación: SAN SALVADOR / Date/Fecha: 1986/10/10 / Time/Hora: 11:49:26 AM / Magnitude/Magnitud: 7.5 / Duration/Duración: 00:00:38.' In the background, there are murals painted on the gallery wall depicting three figures each laying in a hammock. These drawings are black line drawings on the white walls, surrounded by a large rectangular section of black paint. Blue line drawings of foliage overlap these images. Lines of English text in yellow block letters are painted near the top of the black rectangle and bright green Spanish text is near the bottom. The text sections that can be read in their entirety say: 'THAT NIGHT WE SET UP / HAMMOCKS AND / MATTRESSES OUTSIDE / TO SLEEP' and 'ESA NOCHES / QUEDAMOS / AFUERA DURMIERDOEN / HAMACAS Y COLCHONES.'
