Await for Changes – Cuba 2012

Communism has always interested me. I was born in the
socialist state - Polish People's Republic (PRL), when the Soviet
Union was trying to introduce the communist regime. Although I
was too young to remember this particular period of time, it had
a big impact on both my country and my life for years to come.

That’s way in 2012 I traveled to Cuba. Where I spend several
weeks documenting everyday life of Cuban people.
