EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound spirituality and cultural significance in Bahia, Brazil. The image showcases an offering made to the siren goddess Yemanja, who is revered as the protectress of fishermen with African origins. The photograph was taken in 1979 by Quilici Folco. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness an allegory that goes beyond its visual beauty. It represents an abstract concept and symbolizes the deep connection between humans and water – one of the primary elements of life itself. Yemanja's role as a guardian deity is reflected in this offering placed at her feet, emphasizing her association with natural elements and phenomena. The vastness of the sea serves as both a landscape and seascape backdrop for this powerful composition. Its ever-changing waves echo our own emotions and experiences, reminding us of our vulnerability but also our resilience. Quilici Folco's skillful capture not only freezes a single moment in time but also encapsulates centuries-old traditions rooted in Afro-Brazilian culture. This photograph invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with nature, spirituality, and heritage. It is important to note that this description focuses solely on appreciating the artistic value and cultural significance depicted within the print itself; it does not mention any commercial use or promote any specific company associated with it.
