My name is Marc Eddy Laraque, I was born in Haiti in 1981. Now i live in Elizabeth Nj. My passion for art started after my father passed away in 2005. I woke up one day and i started to do sculpture. I took piece of dead wood i turned it into a beautiful artwork. My only stress relief when i feel depress and lonely is art.
The Brown Maroon
The Brown Maroon
Sculpture
(The Black Maroon; in creole, "Neg Mawon"), often translated in English as the "Unknown Slave" statue; on the boulevard "Champ de Mars" with Haiti's presidential palace in background. The "Negre Marron" is shown with left leg extended (broken chain on his ankle); a machete (partially hidden by flower wreaths) is in his right hand, and his left hand holds a conch shell to his lips. The conch shell was often used as a trumpet to assemble people.
