The work included the installation of a red number 43 made of metal along with a plus symbol, in reference to the 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping, forty-three students kidnapped—and possibly killed—in Iguala, Guerrero, in 2014 after being arrested for allegedly committing criminal offenses, plus the six students and witnesses killed during that event, and to honor the more than 150,000 people killed since the start of the Mexican drug war and the 30,000 disappeared persons reported by 2015.
