WAITING

CUBA

In Cuba all is about patience and waiting.

The Waiting series are portraits of cuban/havanean people in their homes.

They talk about what they were/are waiting for regarding Cuban recent and old history.

They were waiting to live a diferent life and waiting for a life in a different country.

Today, after so many years, a door of hope seems to finally make that wait come to end.

I tried to get away from those cliches that we are habituated to see about Cuba and

focus in the people, in what they think and wait for their lives
