Cristina de Middel (@lademiddel) and her husband and collaborator, the artist Bruno Morais (@brujomorais), explored the roots and representation of African spirituality in their book 'Midnight at the Crossroads', through four strategic shores: Benin, Cuba, Brazil, and Haiti.
.
The body of work delves into the symbolism of Èsù, a presence, referenced frequently in African spirituality, which fulfills the role of divine messenger, a force or power that acts as a translator between the language of humans and that of deities.
