Such a powerful, political statement you show here! The anonymity of the working man really adds to the "message". The fact that this worker is carrying a heavy sack across his back, and the glance of direction from Cienfuegos toward him further drives home the meaning of this. Well done, Iris!

Wow! How symbolic!
There are the leaders of the revolution, who become more and more wealthy.
And who bears the burden? Don't we know.
Well seen and captioned!

Well titled and beautifully photographed. By obscuring the identity of the man, you abstract him and make him into a symbol of all who labor under Cuba's harsh economic conditions.
