The Shape of Blue

Artist

Carolina Vargas Reis

Description

In The Shap of Blue, Vargas Reis explores themes of migration, displacement, and belonging through a language of colour and gesture. The zebra—an enduring motif in the artist's practice—becomes a metaphor for identity in motion, carrying traces of resilience, adaptation, and persistence. Layers of blue flow across the surface, suggesting both movement and memory, while the fractured yet unified form reflects the complexities of navigating between places, cultures, and histories.
