Description
This series celebrates the carnivals and the festivities surrounding them.
From the anthropological point of view, carnival is a reversal ritual, in which social roles are reversed and norms about desired behavior are suspended.
Winter was thought of as the reign of the winter spirits; these needed to be driven out in order for the summer to return. Carnival can thus be regarded as a rite of passage from darkness to light, from winter to summer: a fertility celebration, the first spring festival of the new year.

Thank you, Meg. Creating these feels a bit like collage building with layers of elements. It's fun.
