EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the Sierra Maestra mountains in Cuba, a captivating scene unfolds in this photo print. The kitchen of a humble house in the village of Santo Domingo becomes a hub of activity as bananas are prepared for lunch. Captured by Alexandre Meneghini, this image encapsulates the enduring spirit of the Castro revolution that still lives on. The composition draws us into an intimate close-up view, where we witness a cookery ritual taking place over an open flame. The wood timber fire crackles and casts warm hues across the room, creating a cozy atmosphere. A pot sits atop the flames, its contents bubbling with anticipation. Smoke billows gently from the fire, adding to the sensory experience. This creative use of natural resources showcases resourcefulness and resilience within these communities nestled among lush green landscapes. With no people visible in frame, our focus is solely on this culinary process; it invites us to appreciate both simplicity and complexity simultaneously. As we gaze upon this tantalizing sight, we can almost taste the flavorsome outcome that awaits – hot and deliciously caramelized bananas ready to be savored by those fortunate enough to partake in this traditional mealtime ritual. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst political changes and shifting times, cultural traditions endure through generations - nourishing not only bodies but also spirits with their rich heritage.
