Explanation:
From the attached image, we can understand that Kahlo was injured and broke her spine in several places and despite several surgeries, she would live with pain for the rest of her life and would require a corset to hold her spine in place.
The excerpt from the poem says,
<em>"who painted herself a present</em>
<em>wildflowers entwining the plastic corset</em>
<em>her spine resides in, that flaming pillar"</em>
We can see that the imagery depicts a hopeful image that Kahlo is not restrained or held back by her condition because she "painted herself a present" and the line about wildflowers shows that while the situation is an unplanned one, she still has hope as she describes her spine as a "flaming pillar".
A wildflower is a flower that grows in the wild that was not planted by anyone and it symbolizes the forced condition of wearing the corset
