A hand squeezes a cut lime, releasing juice. Overlaying text introduces "El Limón" as a colonial fruit that built a hemisphere's kitchen, survived a cartel, and shaped culinary traditions after arriving on a colonial ship.

Text on a faded background of an old sailing ship explains that Arab traders carried the Key lime to Spain, then colonizers brought it to the Americas in the 16th century, with Columbus introducing citrus in 1493.

A pile of whole and cut limes illustrates the contrast between the Key lime, which built Latin American cuisine, and the Persian lime, optimized for shipping logistics, with the milder version gaining more attention.

The image describes the Techichi, a sacred Mesoamerican dog associated with gods and mystical powers, used in rituals and as elite companions. It is the direct ancestor of the modern Chihuahua, confirmed by DNA. Colonization displaced not only Indigenous people but also their dogs.

The image highlights Christopher Columbus's use of mastiffs as weapons against Indigenous people in Hispaniola (1493) and Jamaica (1494). These dogs were trained to attack and kill, considered as lethal as swords, and used in combat and punitive expeditions.

The image contrasts small, harmless Indigenous dogs like the Chihuahua and Xoloitzcuintli, raised as pets and food, with large, aggressive European war dogs weighing up to 250 lbs. It describes this encounter as a violent collision of two different worlds.
