vejigante

Vejigante reinterprets the vibrant spirit of Puerto Rican carnival tradition, known for bold masks, exaggerated expressions, and richly crafted costumes. Shaped by Spanish, African, and Taíno influences, the vejigante has become a symbol of identity, play, and cultural resistance. Through abstraction, this piece transforms the energy, texture, and movement of the masquerade into a tactile stool, inviting interaction while carrying the rhythm and vitality of a living tradition into contemporary form.
