Cuba's Distinctive Architecture Glows in Vibrant Photos by James Kerwin
Briefly

James Kerwin's Time Suspended captures the fading elegance of Caribbean architecture, particularly in Cuba. During a four-week journey, he documented the interiors and exteriors of historic buildings in Havana and Cienfuegos, emphasizing their unique architectural landscape. Kerwin portrays abandoned structures that reveal stories through wear and light. His goal is to preserve the essence of these sites before they undergo change or restoration. The series reflects the resilience of these buildings amid shifting eras. Plans for future returns to Cuba include leading photography tours to explore this architectural heritage further.
Kerwin focuses predominantly on abandoned buildings, historic interiors, and 'spaces that tell stories through wear, texture, and the way light moves across them.'
'Time Suspended emphasizes Cuba's unique architectural landscape, with buildings balanced in a state between preservation and decay.'
'My aim is to preserve the atmosphere of these places before they change, are restored, or disappear entirely.'
'Each image reflects both the resilience of the structures and the passing of the eras they've witnessed.'
