Myrlande Constant’s beaded work features lit candles, crosses, and ritual objects that evoke an active spiritual scene interrupted by catastrophe. Jerry Philogene and Katherine Smith interpret these elements as signs of ongoing Vodou practice, suggesting that religious ceremonies may have been taking place at the moment of the 2010 earthquake. The presence of candles speaks to remembrance, protection, and healing, highlighting how Constant’s art holds space for both the living and the dead in times of crisis.
