Odù belongs to the chapter entitled The Long Journey, which reflects on the weight and great importance of Africanness in the shaping of Cuban identity. Cuba cannot be understood without the heritage of its enslaved people. Their beliefs and legacy permeate Cuban society at all levels.

Odù is the force of origins, the great mother of àjé (feminine force). It is the primordial vessel or the womb of creation.

Odù is a photographic work that explores the magical universe of ancestral beliefs that connect with the earth and natural elements brought to Cuba by enslaved Africans.
