Michael Eastman — Deco Stairwell, Havana
Michael Eastman

Deco Stairwell, Havana

A sweeping Art Deco stairwell in Havana is captured in rich, luminous color, its elegant curves and weathered grandeur revealing the layered history of a once-opulent interior. Eastman's chromogenic print renders the peeling paint, ornate ironwork, and faded architectural details with striking clarity and depth. The image evokes both the beauty and melancholy of Cuba's colonial past, frozen in a state of breathtaking decay.
