Statement
This is a photographic essay of my 48 hours spent independently exploring Havana, Cuba. What sets this collection apart from my other works is the spontaneity of the subject matter. This is my exploration into an unknown locale, as it was my first time visiting. With a terrain that was completely unfamiliar, I did not pre-plan for my shots. This is simply a body of work in which I composed photographs with a challenge of capturing the many layers of Havana and its people, all while staying present through this once-in-a-lifetime experience. I was unsure of the story I was telling until I reached the editing process and was able to reflect on what I had captured. Once I viewed the pictures together as a body of work, the story unfolded. The photos in this exhibition document the strength, hope, perseverance, resilience and determination of the people of Havana. I have personally framed each of these
photographs, completing every part of the process from start to finish- from design concept, to mat cutting, to framing, which I believe to be an integral part of my story-telling. These photographs have previously been shown in the Cornell Museum in Delray Beach, Florida, where the work was received with much praise- aside from two photos that were censored from the exhibit. The Cornell Museum board asked for the removal of Both “Revolutionary Square” and “Hasta La Victoria Siempre” from the exhibit, out of fear of political blowback and criticism. Both images are an integral part of my vision and this body of work.
