In speaking about her collages, Vera calls them A Fanciful View of a Realistic Object. She describes them as more than what initially meets the eye.

I was on Magdalena Island late March, when the bulk of the penguins had departed for warmer climes. This solo penguin seemed to be saying that he wanted to go to different places than the usual penguin haunts, he wanted to travel the world. He put his imagination to work and envisioned a different life for himself, which I conveyed in this collage.
