Title

Ghost

Description

For the 1985 Genesee Migrant Center exhibit African Past: Migrant Present, this drawing was titled "Ghost"; for the 1991 exhibit Passages, it was title "Voudo Man."

Cantave Sean's stylized figure recalls the vèvè of Voudon, symbols that were to act as beacons for spirits. The pose drawn by Cantave Sean, with its crucifix shape and stylized penis may allude to Baron Samedi, the lwa of the dead.
