Caribbean Carnaval scene featuring Paramin Blue Devil figures from Trinidad, Description: A woman, dressed in a feathered Caribbean Carnival costume ("mas"), takes a powerful stance facing the viewer. Her face is obscured through Smith's picotage technique, creating a mask around her full body, with the exception of her eyes and hands. To her left, a blue figure, inspired by the Paramin Blue Devils, mimics her stance.
