18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
From the series Peccadilloes
Carnival a moment on regular people displaying rebellion using masquerades to celebrate freedom from the repressive religious and social restrictions. The West Indies Parades that transpose me to my childhood. These images are part of an introspective photographic project. I have been exploring and penetrating my desires, and my life's experience, the different cultural, political, and social subtleties of Caribbean culture. The display of liberating devilish sexual searching for gender power and recognizing each of the participants. Daily travel in memories and relief to those repressed moments of everyday life. Gazes suspended in time.
