狂欢节肖像，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.
这幅画是在海地雅克梅勒镇的狂欢节时拍摄的。雅克梅勒镇的狂欢节是最能展现海地及海地岛有趣文化的现象之一。当地人会将自己打扮成非洲的动物，比如说狮子或是神秘的野兽，龙。除此之外，他们会用燃烧过的油，亮色调的颜料和缠绕的铁链装饰自己来象征奴隶。毫无疑问，海地的狂欢节是加勒比最鲜为人知的文化珍宝。
