EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Pascal Deloche, we are transported to the serene surroundings of Akepe Catholic Monastery in Togo, Africa. The image beautifully captures a profound moment of craftsmanship and devotion as we witness the art of shoe making within the walls of this spiritual haven. The scene unfolds with an air of tranquility, showcasing skilled hands meticulously crafting footwear that will serve both practical and symbolic purposes. As rays of sunlight gently filter through the windows, illuminating the workshop, one cannot help but feel a sense of awe at the dedication and skill displayed by these artisans. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into a world where faith intertwines seamlessly with daily life. It serves as a reminder that spirituality is not confined to grand cathedrals or elaborate rituals but can be found in even the most humble corners. Here, amidst simple tools and worn-out materials, individuals channel their devotion into creating something tangible – shoes that will carry others on their own journeys. Beyond its religious connotations, this photograph also speaks volumes about African culture and resilience. It showcases how communities come together under shared beliefs to create meaningful connections while preserving age-old traditions. Deloche's lens has masterfully captured not only an act of shoemaking but also encapsulated an entire way of life rooted in faith and commitment. This powerful visual narrative invites viewers to reflect on their own spiritual journey while celebrating the rich tapestry that is Roman Catholicism in Africa.
