Rebozo Fleeing (Yellow) is crafted with pale hues of yellow, blue, and orange. These soft pigments allow the dark barbed wire, metallic aluminum wire, and safety pins to show through the weaving. The artist frequently uses these elements to give the rebozos, or shawls, weight and a “shield-like quality,” transforming these works into, according to Christina Serna, “Decolonizing Aesthetics in Mexican and Xicana Fiber Art,” “a contemporary, feminized form of Mesoamerican war armor.” Although similar to Nahua war armor, the metal elements of these fleeing rebozos represent what would survive the artist’s journey if she were to leave the galaxy. While Jimenez Underwood would take a rebozo in that voyage, the cloth and thread would likely burn, leaving her the metal elements that have come to symbolize resilient memories.
