Abstract This article reads the end of Wide Sargasso Sea as a spectral portrait of the artist. As she is said to spread colour/fire, Antoinette asserts herself in a gesture where the frame of the picture replaces the frame of a mirror that is either broken, absent, or luring her with a deadly reflection. The I/eye that faces the red backdrop of the sky has stepped through the looking-glass to compose a landscape where another logic is made to prevail. The moment that is created is both a moment of meaning and a moment when meaning is resisted through a handling of colour that displaces codes and challenges the black and white world of the master/colonizer system as much as the symbolism of the mother-text itself. Colour triumphs as an event that sets all lines into motion and allows us to draw a line between modernist aesthetics and a postcolonial poetics of resistance.

将纸板房漆成红色：在广阔的马尾藻海中改写颜色

摘要 这篇文章将宽阔的马尾藻海的尽头解读为艺术家的光谱肖像。据说安托瓦内特会散布颜色/火焰，以一种姿态表明自己，其中图片的框架取代了镜子的框架，镜子要么破碎，要么消失，要么用致命的反射引诱她​​。面对天空的红色背景的我/眼睛已经穿过镜子，构成了另一种逻辑占上风的风景。被创造的时刻既是一个意义的时刻，也是一个意义被抵制的时刻，通过处理颜色来取代代码，挑战主/殖民者系统的黑白世界以及母文本本身的象征意义.
