When Roses Forget Colour

Artist

Carolina Vargas Reis

Description

A solitary figure kneels within a field of desaturated roses, carrying the only remaining colour in the composition. For Vargas Reis, colour functions as a marker of memory, identity, and resistance. The fallen petal at her side offers no resolution, only a reminder that what is lost is not always forgotten.
