Colbert's work has strong philosophical undertones and often questions identity, dreams, the unconscious and the narratives we construct and tell ourselves. The surreal and fantastical become a way to look at our world afresh and find the space to question and reimagine. “Colbert conjures fantastical worlds by blending the boundaries between reality and imagination,”[5] writes the Design Museum.
