ERZULIE FREDA

ERZULIE FREDA

Vodou is an ancient religion within the country of my ancestors, Haiti. The faith derives from a mix of traditional African and Roman Catholic religions centered around spirituality. Spirits are known as Loa, and through this collection, I explore the Loa known as Erzulie Freda. She is associated with femininity and fluidity. Her patronage, which consists of love, beauty, dance, and finer things, fascinated me. It all blends to build a sense of expression and femininity I see within myself.
