Bumpy and uneven blind self portrait chewing a blue corn taco at Elena Álvarez-Buylla Roces's house, discussing how to involve young peers in a more elaborate participation in art and science projects at C3 in the university, listening to "Love Ain't Nothing (but a monkey on your back)", with the soft velvety voice of Johnny Nash, still pretending to understand what happened -and why- to the 43 missing students in Guerrero after watching 'Ayotzinapa: el paso de la tortuga', an event that feels like a blank page to be written urgently, so to uncover vices and obstacles for justice and against State's terrorism as much as possible

此系列作品通常以網格狀方格排列,代表著混亂的生長模式,類似於城市的俯視圖或工業化農田的拼湊,它們是由克魯茲威利戈斯在特定地點收集的紙質物件組成:餐巾紙、信封、圖像、報紙與雜誌的文章、收據等等。本系列標題中的「肖像」一詞代表的是藝術家的自身經歷,描繪他在某段時間的生活;藝術家曾說:「對我來說,最重要的是讓作品獨立於我的自傳;即使它的主要內容是我的生活經歷、思想和實踐。它必須是獨立存在且自由的。」,即代表了「遮蔽」的概念,作品經常會被塗成單色或兩種顏色交替呈現。
克魯茲威利戈斯擅長將訊息轉化為物件,再用顏料作為方法,吸引觀者建構可能的意義。此系列作品標題描述著克魯茲威利戈斯在創作當下所處的狀態和日常活動,某些情況指的是特定的政治或歷史時刻,或者會提及與創作期間同時發生的時事或音樂。
