"Sombra de isla" by Musuk Nolte (Mexico City, 1989) is a project carried out in Cuba that captures the territory and its inhabitants while evading conventional representations of the country. The images navigate between shadow and light, illuminating the photographer's encounter with an insular subjectivity latent in each individual, creating a complex portrait. It is a presence that brings together subjects, history, and geography, with images that uncover the essence of the island in each of its inhabitants.
