BETWEEN THE WORLDS - this is a photo project that I started in 2019 in Cuba.
This Caribbean island, called the pearl of the Antilles, is for me a place where two worlds collide, where time has stopped on one side, and at the same time, through a slightly open door, new ones are trying to break in. It is a very complex world with a dissonance between the ideas of revolution and contemporary reality. I am interested in the moment of transition and sliding of these worlds - a utopian model of reality with the dichotomy of human life and the looking contemporaneity.
I reached for black and white photos for a reason. In this way, I wanted to emphasized the political and economic situation in Cuba.
When I photographed the streets of Havana, I saw the paradox of living in a paradise where the only right way to freedom is a system that was supposed to create a new man but broke him.
