Cuba

2017

Silvio & Cuba

Silvio Rodriguez constantly played at home when I was growing up. He was my first connection to Cuba, his lyrics gave the push my imagination needed to picture what Cuba looked liked. In 2017, during New Year’s week I got the opportunity to visit this magical country.

It was my first personal “photography assignment”, I wanted to take a stab at doing a photo essay. I met incredible people along the journey and got a taste of how it feels to live in Cuba.

“Lo más terrible se aprende enseguida y lo hermoso nos cuesta la vida”

— Canción del Elegido, Silvio
