I have recently became aware of the syncretic religion widely practiced in Cuba among other nations of the Caribbean - Santeria.
Santeria is a harmonious blend of the African Yoruba religion brought on the slaver ships and the Roman Catholicism exclusively practiced by the colonizers of the New World.
I was impressed by the capacity of this new religion to bring people of the different backgrounds and beliefs together rather than becoming the cause of perpetual and frequently bloody conflict.
One can only hope to see something similar ever developing in the Old World...
This series is my way of visually expressing the thoughts and feelings this discovery has provoked. It is a work in progress and may periodically be updated.
