EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing painting showcasing the Aihou Edo rainbow snakes, revered as gods of the universe, adorning a Voodoo temple in Ouidah, Benin. Nestled in West Africa's vibrant continent, this image is a testament to the rich tapestry of African culture and spirituality. The vertical composition allows us to fully appreciate the intricate details and vivid colors that bring this ancient artwork to life. The artist's creativity shines through as they skillfully depict these mythical creatures with their vibrant rainbow hues intertwined amongst each other. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back in time, connecting with the past and immersing ourselves in the deep-rooted traditions of Benin. This sacred place of worship holds immense significance for those who practice Voodoo, serving as a sanctuary where devotees can seek solace and connect with higher powers. The absence of people within the frame invites contemplation and reflection on our own spiritual journeys. It reminds us that despite our diverse beliefs and backgrounds, there is an inherent beauty in embracing different forms of spirituality. Through Philippe Lissac's lens, we are granted access to a world rarely seen by outsiders – an intimate glimpse into an ancient religion steeped in history. This photograph serves not only as a visual feast but also as an invitation to explore new horizons and immerse ourselves in cultures beyond our own.
