EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Alexandre Meneghini, we are presented with a unique glimpse into the mystical world of Santeria followers in Santo Domingo, Cuba. The image showcases a bottle adorned with a cross inside it, left behind as an offering by devotees of this Afro-Caribbean religion. The composition is strikingly beautiful; the leaf plant surrounding the bottle adds an organic touch to the scene while emphasizing its significance within nature. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of both the dried-up foliage and the glass container itself. The creative use of lighting enhances the dark color palette, creating an atmosphere that feels oddly ethereal and mysterious. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely focused on this symbolic object that holds great spiritual meaning for those who practice Santeria. The out-of-focus background adds depth to the photograph, drawing our eyes towards the main subject –the bottle– which stands proudly at center stage. Its cross shape serves as a powerful visual reminder of faith and devotion. This thought-provoking image invites us to contemplate not only religious practices but also how they intersect with our environment. It sparks curiosity about cultural traditions and their impact on local communities.
