Blending pop culture references, landscapes, and everyday objects, Provocando una Erupción creates a tapestry that includes geological formations, industrial elements, and anthropomorphic figures. Jiménez carefully includes text, labels, and drawing elements pointing to the tumultuous Mexican cultural environment. The artist states about his collages, “They create very striking compositions and end up being a type of codex or diagrams, most of the time bordering on the absurd and the Dadaist. They try to explain something concretely and end up being more like the mental chaos each can build in their own mind.”
