EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant streets of Brazzaville, Congo, and discover the ancient art of fortune telling through the eyes of a local mystic. This photograph captures a close-up shot of shells used by a traditional fortune teller to reveal secrets and predict the future. The palm of her hand cradles the shells with care, as if holding precious treasures.
The warm tones of the image transport us to a world where tradition meets spirituality. The shells, worn smooth by time and use, seem to hold stories within their curves. As we gaze upon this intimate scene, we can almost hear the soft whispers of ancient wisdom being shared between generations.
In Brazzaville's bustling markets, these shell-reading practitioners weave tales that connect past and present. Their knowledge is passed down through oral traditions, weaving together mythologies and superstitions from across Africa's rich cultural tapestry.
This photograph invites us to step into this mystical realm, where fate is woven from threads of intuition and experience. It's an invitation to listen closely to the whispers carried on African breezes – whispers that speak directly to our own hearts.
