Description
This painting depicts an 18th century sugar plantation in Surinam, where enslaved people are gathered together to celebrate a communal ritual. The figures in the forefront of the painting are painted with muted tones and hues, while figures further away become more abstracted and ethereal. This creates a sense of depth that is both disorienting and reflective of the uneven power dynamics at play within this space.
