Santa Bárbara, syncretized in the Yoruba religion with Changó, is one of the most venerated deities by Cubans. The saint, owner of thunder; the warrior, symbol of strength and virility, lord of lightning and fire. In reality, the duality of creed was forged by the African slaves, who, to safeguard their faith, had to hide their gods in the images of the Catholic saints. Both religious figures are prayed to for justice, solution to lost causes, protection against enemies and danger of death.

There are things that have never changed their essence, even if physical mutations forced by time are perceived. Isolation required me to carefully observe instants of my life, of my surroundings, of my city, that I never saw while I inhabited them, that remained invisible after the continuous and accelerated pace of surviving in the midst of chaos, that I never conceived of giving them their space within my memory and their necessary visual narrative. Before and after everything represents what I now conceive as sacred, the corners, the rituals, the domestic traditions, the ephemeral silhouettes, the silences and their compasses, the frequent rooms, the repository of memories.
