Above them, the title “QUIERO” appears in large gold lettering against a dark, star-filled background. Decorative elements—including a bee, cacti, a snake, and geometric designs—surround the position, while a textured strip resembling earth or woven fibers runs across the lower half.

She is framed by a circular black field filled with red poppies and gray botanical motifs. White geometric lines surround the figure, while the text “WOMANKIND” arches across the top and “WOMAN POWER OF LOVE” appears along the bottom and side.
