"It seems it was yesterday when I had that last cup of coffee, a mixture of sadness and uncertainty" This photo was created for a Cuban artists project called NFTcuba.ART. This self-portrait narrates my experience as a Cuban immigrant to the USA. It's the memory of the moment of my departure, the last farewell cup. Represents the feeling of millions of Cubans, carrying with it nostalgia, longing, and the uncertainty that Cuba has been living for more than 60 years of communism.

I’m a Cuban-born, self-taught photographer and visual storyteller based in the United States. I seek through my photos to capture the thought, human fragility, and its nature through surreal representations that are often an open question that makes you look more than once. My greatest passion is telling stories, not only to satisfy myself but to show others a part of themselves, through universal emotions and mysterious metaphors that fill the gap between visible reality and imaginary vision.
