Everything is abstracted, and entire work is framed by a border. "The grape boycott by Cesar Chavez begins a series of pickets and demonstrations in San Diego, California. These pickets and demonstrations inspire Salvador Torres to create a series of "Huelga" (Strike) images, that Salvador Torres uses to express the times of the capture of the Ford Building in Balboa Park, Chicano Park, and the Neighborhood house in San Diego, California. The struggle for Human Rights sparks the Civil Rights movements of the Black & Chicano causa are the nucleuses for Salvador Torres expressive works in contrast to the "Minimal Art", "Earthworks", "Conceptual & POP Art". The struggle for the survival of Logan Heights, Barrio Logan disastrous impact by the San Diego Bay Bridge & the construction of I-5 freeway was the tyranny Salvador Torres violently opposed. See attachment of San Diego Union 4/24/70." Salvador Torres
