Metalwork plays a central role in the cultural history of Africa and the African diaspora. In Haiti, this tradition is perpetuated by a group of artists that transform oil drums into sculptures. Sculptures like this one combine Christian subjects with a repertoire of characters and symbols from the Afro-Haitian Vodou religion.
