The Sensay Performers, Dominica, 2022

Description

The Sensay Performers, Dominica 2022  captures a blur of movement and colour — layered fabrics swaying, masks gleaming in the Caribbean sun. Shot during Dominica’s Carnival, this photograph reflects the island’s living tradition, where the past and present dance together in rhythm and ritual.

The Sensay is one of Dominica’s most recognisable masquerade figures — a performer wrapped in strips of cloth, rope, and old fabric, symbolising both protection and transformation. Their presence at Carnival is a nod to ancestral creativity and resilience, a celebration of the island’s unique spirit.
