The overall pant is a working garment that implies the basic idea of labor, along with uncleanliness. When the overall is embroidered, a tension is created between the labor garment and a craft normally used in customs surrounding virgins, saints and religion figures. The type of design implies a symbolic representation of adoration, respect, and fear. The use of color and material also demonstrates a sense of high value and respect.

The overall was embroidered in the legs and arms to symbolize the archetype of a Latino worker as "braceros", a term that accentuates the economically productive organs, fragmenting the basic notion of persona. The action is a simple gesture, the collective exchange of clothes, where the overall is transferred from artist to worker, then worker to workers, creating a chain of exchanges. This poetic transfer becomes a gesture of trust via the overall, and a revalorization of labor and worker.
