This series of photos was taken in Havana, Cuba in October 2024, while I was working on an independent project idea about propaganda in two contexts: Cuba and New York. The material I created in Havana is an impactful and artistic testimony to the situation that has been unfolding in Cuba for the past two years and culminating in the current political and economic crisis. My photos are centered on simple daily life and routine human interactions, rather than on newsflashe-style images. They feature the background story to what has become front-page reporting.
