Art Deco reflections, Havana, Cuba, 2012

The curved windowpanes of this art deco office building in downtown Havana offer an ever changing array of abstracted reflections, depending on the position of the morning sun. I made this image from a nearby rooftop vantage point, taking advantage of the warm golden light that creates a mosaic of the surrounding architecture within these reflections.

Your interpretation is wonderful, Celia. It validates my purpose in making this image -- much of the story will inevitably rest within the imagination of the viewer. And you have let your own imagination feast on this. Thanks.

I love the way you contrast the organic abstract shapes and colors of the reflections with the horizontal and vertical lines of the building. It gives me the sense that some things stay firm and solid, like the foundation and values of the people, but the culture of the people, their pulse and rhythm, will always be changing and evolving.
