Day 29: Please Just Stay Dead by Nicole Dollanganger

Eerie and unreal sounding vocals are rad.

Nkondi figures are a Congolese tradition that resolves societal struggles. A figure, treated like any other member of the society with its own personality & living space, has a nail driven into it by the local spiritual expert/diviner in order to produce enough energy (or pain/sensation) to free the spirit from the figure for a time. This is done after relevant matter (things like dirt from a grave site, herbs with protective qualities, or blood) is placed into the compartment typically found in the figure's chest. Through this process, the figure's spirit engages with the unseen realm & ideally resolves the issue of interest. On the figure can be seen the village's history over the years in the form of sharp objects that have accumulated. In this image the Madonna & child has been treated as an Nkondi figure.
