Description

This is a collage featuring many tan, muscular men and carnival dancers. In the foreground, a handbag with a jute material and tassels of varying colors sits to the side. The bag has what looks to be hand-painted or written black letters on it. In the background, there are many cut-out images of men and carnival dancers with bright, elaborate costumes. The men are tan and muscular, in bathing suits or briefs. The background is a neutral, white surface. The overall composition has an advertising, design, or fashion-editorial feel.
