EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in Havana, Cuba. The focal point is an ornate marble staircase nestled within an apartment building, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and decorative elements that were once synonymous with Cuban architecture. The elaborate ironwork railing and stone carvings add a touch of grandeur to this otherwise neglected space. The image exudes a sense of sadness and dilapidation, reflecting the poverty and destitution that has plagued parts of this vibrant city. The deserted surroundings and damaged walls hint at a forgotten past, while the deserted foyer stands as a testament to its uninhabited state. Despite its current state, there is still beauty to be found in every corner. The play of light on the marble surfaces creates interesting patterns, adding depth to the composition. This square image perfectly frames the scene, drawing attention to both the impressive structure itself and the desolation surrounding it. As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported into another time - where Havana was once a bustling metropolitan hub filled with life and energy. It serves as a reminder of how quickly circumstances can change but also highlights Cuba's rich architectural heritage that continues to captivate travelers from around the world.
