In Yoruba mythology, Egungun-Oyá is a goddess of divination. “Egungun” refers to the collective spirits of the ancestral dead.
Egungun is a part of the Yoruba pantheon of divinities. The Yoruba religious system is sometimes referred to as the ‘Yoruba Religion’ or simply ‘Orisa Worship’.
In the tradition of Orisa and ancestor worship, the Egungun represents the “collective spirit” of the ancestors. Ancestor worship or reverence is everywhere in traditional Africa. Egungun is a part of this worship.
This is basically a cinema 4D render; though I had to draw and to blend several layers in order to enhance the whole atmosphere.
( CINEMA 4D is a commercial, cross-platform, high-end 3-D graphics application ).
Thanks for stopping by.

The image as a whole looks very spiritual. The character is very elegant and enchanting, however I was a bit surprised how contemporary/modern she looks, maybe symbolizing the connection between the spirits of the past and the people of the future?
