A wine bottle once held the spirit of the vine.

I asked myself what would happen if it could hold another spirit not to contain it, but to reveal it.

In the universe of Haitian Vodou, the visible and the invisible are never far apart. The ancestors whisper through memory, symbols, dreams, and the ordinary things we often overlook. Nothing is truly lifeless. Everything carries the possibility of becoming sacred.

By reshaping the bottle into a mask, I was not creating a face. I was uncovering a presence. A silent guardian emerging from glass, carrying the echoes of ancestral wisdom and the unseen forces that accompany every step of our journey. 🎨🔥
