EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant colors of African culture come alive in this print capturing a Sunday service at the MEIA Evangelical Church in Grand Bassam, Ivory Coast. The image showcases the rich traditions and deep-rooted spirituality found within West Africa's diverse communities. In the foreground, a woman dressed in traditional clothing sits attentively, her patterned pink skirt adding a splash of color to the scene. With selective focus on her hands, we see her holding a Bible and delicately turning its pages with a pencil. This close-up view highlights the importance of scripture during worship. As our gaze extends beyond this central figure, we catch glimpses of other worshippers filling the church interior. Incidental people engage in prayer and reflection as they participate in this sacred gathering. In the background, additional individuals clad in traditional costumes add depth to the composition. This photograph by Philippe Lissac beautifully captures not only an intimate moment within one person's spiritual journey but also provides us with insight into traditionally African religious practices. It serves as a reminder that places of worship hold immense significance across cultures and continents alike. With its vivid colors and cultural richness, this print transports viewers to Ivory Coast's enchanting landscapes while offering an invitation to explore Africa's diverse spiritual heritage firsthand.
