Divine Epithets
…………tonight before the doors of the big red house
I’ve seen the eyes of the warrior again
eleggua
tongue
red with blood like the heart of irons
gold feet one larger
the fiery roof
the rearing beaming chest
bursting out in shrieks
eleggua leaps
imagines songs
grazes space with a copper dagger
who will consent to him
if not the stone
if not the white coconut tree
who will gather the shells of his eyes

Introduction
As a photographer, I see my camera as a compass, much like Eleggua’s eyes, guiding me through the intricate journey of life. Just as Eleggua, the warrior with eyes that see beyond the ordinary, leaps through space, bursting with energy and imagination, I strive to capture fleeting moments that reveal deeper truths. Each click of the shutter is my own dance with the unknown, crystallizing fragments of human emotions, faith and the impact of religion on our lives. My work echoes Eleggua’s search, gathering the shells of insight that illuminate our shared existence.
