Walking the streets of my city, camera in hand, I immerse myself in the assiduous practice of de-contextualizing details amalgamated in the clutter of photogenic narratives that inhabit its spaces.
This series then arises as a result of the search for a reality that is shown as antagonistic to the repeated image of the popular song "White Sheets", which has come to characterized the extroversion and the life of the city of Havana.
With this in mind, I structure a timely speech to express myself through a conceptual synthesis, with images that summon poetic reflections and metaphors that evoke unfortunate abandonment, discouragement, loneliness, isolation, and marginality.
