Distressed Hands Wall Art in Havana, Cuba
While wandering the streets of Havana, Cuba, I encountered this striking piece of wall art. The distressed texture of the wall adds an extra layer of depth to the image. It’s a detailed depiction of hands etched into the weathered surface. The muted tones and rough lines give it an almost ghostly appearance, conveying a sense of struggle and resilience.
The artwork starkly contrasts the city’s crumbling walls, blending history and art in a raw, visceral way. The detailed and textured fingers tell stories of labor, connection, and endurance. The smudged and dripped paint gives the piece an unfinished yet deeply impactful appearance.
Havana’s vibrant streets are full of hidden gems like this. The city’s artistic spirit thrives amidst its aged facades. As I photographed this wall art, I felt deeply connected to the countless hands that have shaped and built this storied city. This image captures that essence, making it a poignant addition to any collection of wall art.
