Cuba, More or Less is a street photography series that offers a personal and unpredictable look at life in Cuba today.

The images focus on color, light, and the strange harmony of contradictions that define everyday scenes. Far from tourist clichés or romanticized nostalgia, this project explores the rhythm of the island as it is lived by its people — with strength, humor, routine, and uncertainty.

Cuba is changing, slowly and unevenly. The economic crisis has deepened, the dual-currency system has collapsed, and many shelves remain empty. The struggle for daily survival is real and visible. At the same time, there is resilience: people create, adapt, recycle, and continue to live with dignity in a system that often fails them. The tension between hope and disillusionment is in the air and on every corner.

In Havana, crumbling facades and brightly painted walls coexist. The old American cars still drive by, but they carry more wear and less magic. Cell phones are everywhere, but internet access is expensive and unstable. Young people dream of leaving, but also find ways to reinvent the present. The city feels vibrant and tired at once.

This is not a Cuba explained — it’s a Cuba observed. We do not try to define the island, but to witness it in fragments: a gesture, a shadow, a burst of color. We followed instinct more than narrative, letting things appear without force. What you see is a mix of quiet chaos and unexpected beauty, where meaning is often unclear, but emotion is always present.

It’s not the whole truth, just a version. Cuba, more or less.
