In Beninese photographer Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou's Egungun series (2011), figures stand against mud brick walls, adorned with intricate masks, and exquisite, multi-colored ceremonial costumes from head to toe. This series depicts incarnations of the Yoruba tribe's ancestors appearing at funerals and in annual ritualized parades, bridging the temporal gap between the living and the dead, a significant element in Yoruba spirituality and community life.
