Cuban Variants

While going to Cuba I was pretty much expecting to be confronted to its stereotyped image of colorful and joyful culture. Once there, I could not avoid to be dazed by the actual harsh life condition of the Cuban people.

While going to Cuba I was pretty much expecting to be confronted to its stereotyped image of colorful and joyful culture.
Once there, I could not avoid to be dazed by the actual harsh life condition of the Cuban people.
If felt like this condition was almost swallowed by the voluntarily staged and stereotyped scenery for tourists.
I can get stunned by a young sexy woman on her horse, in full running, in a peripheral and extremely poor street of Trinidad, as she brought to me the image of a rebel, revolutionary, sexy amazon.
While I dig, color becomes then a sort of trap. where people get stuck.
