Se vende tierra de Cuba
A meticulously rendered watercolor and pencil drawing by the Cuban collective Los Carpinteros depicts parcels of earth packaged and labeled as commodities for sale, blurring the line between landscape and merchandise. The work employs precise architectural drafting techniques alongside delicate washes of color to present the land as both a tangible material and a loaded political symbol. The title, *Se vende tierra de Cuba* ("Cuban soil for sale"), evokes themes of displacement, exile, and the complex negotiations of national identity and belonging.
