d. all of the above.

Peláez signals her Cuban heritage by combining tropical motifs (the hibiscus and potted plant), traditional domestic/ornamental elements (lace, ceramics), and a stained‑glass–like treatment — bold black outlines and flat color planes that evoke colonial windows and decorative arts of Cuba. Together these visual choices reference Cuban domestic life, architecture, and craft.
