The Empress’s Kiss

Artist

Carolina Vargas Reis

Description

A cluster of origami cranes crosses a storm in a paper boat that has taken on the sheen of metal while keeping every crease intact.
The work lingers in the space between fragility and endurance, where pressure does not erase a thing but alters what it can withstand.
