Bañada en Luz, 2019

(Bathed in Light), rituals performed by Nicoletta Daríta de la Brown, honors the Mothers of Living Waters, Lemanjá (Yemoja) and Yemaya. Clothed in enigmatic shades of the deep ocean floor, Nicoletta’s body is transformed into an alter; her movements serve as offerings to the goddesses. She bathes; cleanses space and sculpts the air with light. Her Crown adorned with stardust is a conduit to the nurturing moonlight which she calls upon during the performance.
