In "Self Portrait on the Borderline between Mexico and the United States", Frida Kahlo depicts herself on the border between two worlds on the recycled tote bag. The pre-columbian view of Mexico, with a temple, Aztec iconography and native plants romanticize her indigenous roots; a Mexican flag in her left left. The exaggerated industrial view of the US, the Ford smokestacks emitting a cloudy American flag, machinery and smog; a cigarette in her right hand.
