An Image of Cuba

[2016]

Shot in 2016, the series offers a portrait of everyday life in Cuba. Through street scenes and spontaneous encounters, it observes people in their surroundings – in the streets of Havana, in small towns, and along the coast – capturing moments that reveal both individuality and shared experience.

The photographs look beyond familiar symbols to show how ordinary life unfolds amid economic uncertainty and quiet resilience. Faces in the crowd, gestures, and fragments of daily routines form a mosaic of a country in transition – one that balances pride and resourcefulness with the challenges of limited means.

Rather than documenting events or ideology, the series reflects on presence, rhythm, and endurance. It portrays a society where simplicity carries strength and where the everyday becomes a space of creativity, patience, and continuity.
