This artwork immediately appears cheeky, as a girl is painted into the canvas upside down, an unusual position for an artwork featuring human faces. Spanish words that appear in the background are blurred, save for a few bold-lettered Spanish words. At first, these letters appear to have no meaning, but when combined with the title of the artwork the sentence changes into “Capable of turning almost everything”, telling us that despite the queer situation that she is in, she has the power to turn things around and greet us with a smile.
