Giant bronze Sophia Vergara overlooks the harbor of Barranquilla
They're proud, so I understand.
But it's as tacky looking as she is in real life.

R1 You are projecting your dated, white, male, parochial esthetic onto oh fuck I can't anymore.

The piece depicts Sofía Vergara wearing a blue dress—symbolizing the river and the Caribbean Sea—and golden-toned skin, serving as a metaphor for the brilliance of coastal talent.
The sculpture is part of a cultural and tourism strategy by the city to honor figures who have made an international impact and to strengthen local pride.
It is located near the statue of Shakira, also in the Gran Malecón, further establishing the area as a cultural and tourist landmark in the city.

These both give me such second-hand cringe, I need to abandon this thread immediately.

R3 - well - at least it matches the Shakira one. They were both born there, so there should be some civic pride over having 2 international stars coming from their city.
It just feels a bit hoochie-coochie.

That’s incredible!
It was sculpted by Yino Marquez the artist who crafted the Shakira statue.

The statues (Shakira and this one) look to be outside of town along the river - in a not so developed area. Not exactly a top location?

These seem less like honorary statues than clues for upcoming seasons of The Amazing Race.

Was Sophia present or was she afraid the US wouldn’t allow her to re-enter the country.
