    Description

    This triptych film installation dives into the world of Santeria, or Regla de Osha, an Afro Cuban religion forcibly brought from West Africa through the transatlantic slave trade and adapted to survival under the guise of syncreticism. Its initiation rites and rules are interweaved with the artist's personal experiences, performance and poetry. This multi-layered work interrogates the forms and functions of the sacred, exposing our universal quest for meaning and the importance of creating narratives that helps us to endure and find significance in our daily afflictions.
