This photograph from the Ciudad, Malecón Habanero series (2012) captures a moment of rest and vulnerability along Havana's seawall, where three bodies lie at the edge of the sea in a composition charged with symbolic resonance. The crashing waves form a constant and enveloping presence, emphasizing the intimate relationship between individuals and the urban-natural landscape. The image articulates a poetics of suspended time, in which rest, resilience, and coexistence converge into a collective gesture. Through direct framing and deep documentary sensitivity, the photograph transcends the immediacy of the moment to become a reflection on belonging, community, and the persistence of life in the city. Raúl Cañibano is widely recognized for his humanist vision and his ability to capture dignity, intimacy, and symbolic depth within everyday Cuban life.
