Diana Rubi
Last Cup (Single)
DESCRIPTION
"It seems it was yesterday when I had that last cup of coffee, a mixture of sadness and uncertainty"
This self-portrait narrates my experience as a Cuban immigrant to the United States. It's the memory of the moment of my departure, the last farewell cup.
Represents the feeling of millions of Cubans, carrying with it nostalgia, longing, and the uncertainty that Cuba has been living for more than 60 years of communism.
Last Cup was created for a Cuban artists project called NFTcuba.ART.
