The moon in space looms over slices of the U.S. and Mexican flags, separated by a neutral white zone and fractured with the familiar contour of the U.S.-Mexico border. By contrast, the moon has no borderlines. A flower edges into space, hinting at an ancestral presence. Placed in the greater context of the universe, the man-made lines we call borders lose their strength and authority.

"Questioning what does or does not cross US borders, how people cross, and why, Jimenez Underwood has returned again and again to the strangeness of the importance given to imaginary lines drawn on a map." Christine Laffer, "Charged Objects," Consuelo Jimenez Underwood Art, Weaving, Vision, Duke University Press, 2022
