Junkanoo Costumes at Ashgabat Waterfront Parade

by Henrik Cohen

Dappled sunlight falls through overhanging tree branches, creating shifting patches of bright gold and deep shadow across a paved waterfront promenade. Participants in towering paper-mache costumes stand along the edge of the walkway, their vibrant Caribbean patterns of blue, yellow, and red against the pale stone architecture of Ashgabat. The wide panoramic view shows the scale of the procession moving beneath an early summer sky filled with dramatic white clouds. Rough, layered textures of the paper masks and headdresses hang from the shoulders of the figures, reaching upward against the bright backdrop. Smooth marble surfaces of the surrounding buildings reflect the vivid colors of the masks. The edge of the water mirrors the bright clouds and the sharp outlines of the costumes.
