EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Yadid Levy showcases the vibrant and intricate world of Candomble, a traditional Afro-Brazilian religion. The image captures strings of beads made from seeds and shells, adorned in the vivid colors associated with African gods. Located in Cachoeira, Bahia, Brazil, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage found outside the bustling cities. The close-up shot reveals the ornate details of each bead and shell, highlighting their significance within Candomble rituals. These strings of beads serve as both decorative accessories and symbolic representations of spiritual connections to deities. With its blue hues reminiscent of the sea shell's natural coloration, this photograph beautifully encapsulates not only a souvenir but also an important aspect of Brazilian culture. It challenges stereotypical views by showcasing a tradition deeply rooted in South American history. Levy's vertical composition draws attention to these traditionally Brazilian elements while emphasizing their role within Latin American traditions more broadly. This color image perfectly captures the essence of traditional culture in Brazil without any people present. As we explore travel destinations around the world through photography like this one, we gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for diverse cultures such as Candomble that continue to thrive today.
