Havana Street Art

Graffiti art, as a call for change illustrating the fear, the hope and the wishes of young
Cubans. In a system full of suppression, stetting those visual statements needs a lot of
courage and conviction. This series should carry their idea out of that isolated system
and pay respect to those brave artists.

When the world of photography captured my heart, it changed the way I perceived the world. I realised that experiences in life and the emotions we feel can be captured in a moment to live on forever in a photograph. Chased by emotions and haste, I felt like a child exploring an unknown world; there was no plan of where this journey would take me.
