“In this work, like ‘My Dress Hangs There’, Kahlo presents a critique of the US. The US landscape, with its billowing smokestacks and skyscrapers, reveals the United States’ disregard for its native past. While the Aztec landscape supports a variety of firmly rooted vegetation, on the side of the United States machines sprout cords underground. Kahlo stresses the United States’ imperialist desires as well as its artificial relationship with the land in this painting. The US machines feed off of the Aztec vegetation. Although Janice Heiland suggests that Kahlo provides an “idealization of the Aztec past" in this painting, certain details do not support this view. For example, Kahlo does not paint the pre-Columbian artifacts in an exalted way; instead, they are small and fairly haphazardly strewn.”
