NOTES
In Central African thought, Sunset is the time of uncertainty and transformation - the time between day and night, black and white. The Color red, in the triadic system is often the transformative color, acting as the bridge between the two worlds; light and darkness, life and death, good and evil. The face of Sunset is the face of transformation; the face of that which changes things from one state to the other. This is a journey when the day ends and the night waits to take its rightful place, Waits until the transforming sunset finishes its magic
