狂歡節肖像，海地
The image was taken during the Carnival in the town of Jacmel, Haiti. Carnival in Jacmel is one of the most interesting cultural manifestations in Haiti and in Hispaniola. There are traditional characters that dress up in customs depicting African animals, such as lions and mystical beasts, dragon. In addition, symbolize slaves by painting their bodies in burnt oil and bright paints and dragging chains. Undoubtedly, Carnival in Haiti is one of the Caribbean's least known cultural treasures.
這幅畫是在海地雅克梅勒鎮的狂歡節時拍攝的。雅克梅勒鎮的狂歡節是最能展現海地及海地島有趣文化的現象之一。當地人會將自己打扮成非洲的動物，比如說獅子或是神秘的野獸，龍。除此之外，他們會用燃燒過的油，亮色調的顏料和纏繞的鐵鏈裝飾自己來象征奴隸。毫無疑問，海地的狂歡節是加勒比最鮮為人知的文化珍寶。
