In her pieces Relics Remembered #1 and Relics Remembered #2, Consuelo Jimenez Underwood emphasizes deeply personal, evocative iconography, incorporating imagery such as the Virgen de Guadalupe and 1990s California/Mexico border signage. The highway sign design echoes the style of a deer-crossing sign, a striking comparison that led the artist to observe, "they're thinking of us as animals now."
