A vibrant and geometric composition characteristic of Mérida's unique fusion of pre-Columbian indigenous motifs and European modernism, *El disco negro* centers on a bold black disc that anchors a dynamic interplay of angular and curved forms. The surrounding shapes, rendered in rich, contrasting colors, evoke a sense of rhythmic movement and ceremonial energy. The work reflects Mérida's lifelong exploration of Latin American cultural identity through an abstract visual language.
