Vèvè of Baron Samedi
Vèvè-Punk is a creative philosophy that fuses the ancient symbols of Haitian Vodou with modern technology, crafting a world where tradition and innovation coexist. It critiques how corporations, like modern Loas, consume our energy, turning us into fuel for their growth. Vèvè-punk reclaims this energy, channeling it into resistance and empowerment.
At its core, Vèvè-Punk celebrates the resilience of Haitian heritage, using spiralism to explore the profound impact of small changes on the larger system. Vèvès and cosmograms are treated as gateways to infinite complexity, challenging us to see beyond the surface and into the vast potential of every symbol. This style is a conversation about liberation, identity, and the power of cultural legacy in a digital age.
Vèvè-punk draws the viewer into a deeper interaction with the work, evoking the call and response tradition. It merges visuals with music—'RaRa Synthwave Shoegaze'—blurring the lines between what is seen and what is heard. In Vèvè-punk, the distinction between main characters and background elements is flattened, challenging traditional focal points. Loas serve as a "second layer," adding depth and complexity, while photorealism is deliberately avoided to maintain a sense of fluidity and abstraction.
