About the Book
In 1959, The Revolution gave us wings to fly, in the 80’s as Communism fell , our wings melted, and we fall, like a bomb, into our solitaire Island. Ikarus, was coincidentally the name of the Hungarian cars being used in Havana’s public transportation at that time. This pictures were done during my commuting time to and from Graphic Design School. As I write, we’re still falling down, and haven’t yet touched ground.
