Taken from California road signs found near the border, the image of a family fleeing has appeared several times in Jimenez Underwood’s work. It mimics the format of a deer-crossing sign, a parallel which made the artist reflect: “they’re thinking of us as animals now.” During her childhood, her father was deported to Mexico on multiple occasions, forcing her and her family to smuggle him back over the border each time. Jimenez Underwood carefully pierces and bounds together Caution road signs using only the humble safety pin, creating a sunset gradient reminiscent of border skies. The safety pin serves as a connection point for the families affected by immigration conditions with the natural landscape.
