"Quiero Tortillas" highlights the cultural significance of the tortilla, a theme explored across many of the artist’s works. The tortilla serves as a recurring visual motif, represented by oval outlines of thread. Jimenez Underwood explores a connection to Indigenous heritage by portraying the tortilla as a sacred gift from Mesoamerican gods, with outlines layered over a figure evoking the Aztec snake goddess, Coatlicue. This goddess is regarded as a symbol of creation and destruction, as well as the mother of gods and mortals. By pairing the sustaining gift of tortillas with the figure of Coatlicue, Jimenez Underwood connects motherhood with sanctity and life-affirming nourishment. A vibrant palette of combined colors creates a complex visual experience, further enhanced by Jimenez Underwood’s signature multimedia approach, including safety pins that frame the floral print-outs. These mixed-media elements demonstrate her lifelong dedication to the marriage of craftsmanship and fine art.
