The main purpose of this project was to create illustrations based on stories and conversations, especially on subjects related to Brazil's history and ancestry. This artwork was inspired by the story of Oxum (Oshun), a goddess from the Yoruba religion, which is part of Afro-Brazilian religions, such as Candomblé and Umbanda.
