"In the photo performance, Walking in My Galaxy Blue, we see a two-legged figure stepping forward in a sky blue and gray patterned setting, the body again echoing the pattern of the surrounding realm in a process of camouflage or transformation. The work, which lends its name for this exhibition, perhaps visualizes the seabed flora of an Andean lagoon, microscopic creatures airborne amid an unpolluted sky, or a fossilized interplanetary ecosystem from a far-away world. Paredes’s figure in Walking in My Galaxy Blue, urges her viewers to move forward, perhaps with a momentum to recalibrate our global priorities of environmental stewardship, reciprocity, and mutual survival." - art historian Emily Alesandrini
