this is called a botarga, which is a suit that people use in carnivals or for marketing. they are very common in Mexico, but you can find them in traditional folk festivities in Spain. I think they are metaphors of our personas, the characters that we build of ourselves.

this fantastic fish and the naked woman have a thing going on. or not and I am just imagining things. something that my mom would not understand: "why does she have to be naked, Cuquita? is that fish about to do something to her?" not sure. what do you think? is this my twisted unconscious, or am I consciously being provocative?

the coast of Oaxaca is a place where black people migrated to, before the independence of Mexico. The mix between Native americans (we called them zapotecos, mixtecos, mixes and many more) and black people is quite rare and they call themselves Afromexicans.

the botarga, which is a sort of costume that covers the head and body, is a very regular thing to see in Mexico as promotional resource.It is a tradition that comes from medieval european festivals.
