Façades, El Malecón, Havana, Cuba, No. 1, December

A large-format photograph by Robert Polidori capturing the weathered and layered façades of buildings along El Malecón, Havana's iconic seaside boulevard. The image reveals the passage of time through peeling paint, crumbling plaster, and faded colors that speak to decades of tropical exposure and urban neglect. Polidori's meticulous eye transforms architectural decay into a rich visual document of Cuban history and the complex beauty of a city suspended in time.
