"Imole Blue"
Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons

UNIVERSITY GENERAL SCULPTURE COLLECTION

In Yourba "Imole Blue", means Blue Earth. In collaboration with Vanderbilt senior art majors and volunteers, 4,400 grape hyacinth bulbs were planted mapping streets of the artist’s Cuban hometown of Manguito. Her theme explores identity and memory of a sense of place for the legions of fellow travelers who are uprooted from around the world.
