Hello friends, sculptures continue to be among the things that satisfy my soul. This time I chose a group of sculptures by Cuban artists where steel rods and mixtures based on cement, sand, and perhaps yellow earth or clay predominate as fundamental elements for their creations. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSFVEPYDBiwbQbcMcJjP43NbkZis3cYVL7DuPZ3TBkH38/img_20260306_132219_133.jpg) Several important artists stand out in this open-air gallery, such as Kcho with his brick totem in the shape of boats, which speaks not only to the cursed geography or insularity that accompanies Cubans but also to the phenomenon of migration across the sea, primarily the Florida Straits. However, I began the photos with the hammerhead, as if it were part of the hammer of life that sometimes pushes us harshly toward where we want to go, or where we don't. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNYTtU1GQPszAheLRFT35LxmpvM8DjBUgw3urA5CnpAVm/img_20260306_132238_780.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZT48CvWcEMzr5NoU72NidqbfdRvFmTDcDyEbEt9qFrgH/img_20260306_132255_323.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbMZY5v4dqbwfhh4ZG4anNEok8uZbaeuEmUNmox5PbZcZ/img_20260306_132343_237.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNiG37nD87bABZAFaM7StCCPkB8wAcuC2epmSLk3BRMQj/img_20260306_132416_050.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZd6pGA3xB9sed3jkQ5Qyi3R8dFpJ3HEf6TcVhM2KksKM/img_20260306_132730_072.jpg) This figure, which is divided into three parts like a dance that spins eternally, reminds me of the cycle of life and how, as social beings, it becomes very difficult to know how to live in solitude. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPJ8rRnjam6LnBi4NpSJSwqgbZTj9c9F8eNj3dbRF7SAy/img_20260306_132710_894.jpg) The seat for more than one person reaffirms what was said before, that strange need to be together even if not like a pack, but perhaps like a family. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmawYYm76ZYnc5qpjYbN4aQkRDDMDok3gr9QTsdXogcZpS/img_20260306_132831_417.jpg) Likewise, these enormous hands welcome us not only to sit on but to share them because the hands of a friend are always necessary in life. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmX7MgHqaVoZUhoMnMj8JPRn4bwrbxLgn31n6icpPsscFv/img_20260306_133028_011.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNdjhC3A8qAkzW34BHsoVQ97jXAi6aBuThgHiGMf6r82K/img_20260306_133100_252.jpg) These are works that, in addition to conveying a message, also have a certain functionality for those who enjoy them. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXhXVtD81di6tF6g2hjEcyodfWwdwe4XLTLMep9ubVbyf/img_20260306_133109_264.jpg) And I close with this work by Kcho that I mentioned earlier where the desire to escape always exists and is present, as those verses by José Lezama Lima remind us. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmT5TeTMbFcRatkpHjKchGFK7j864wxZyZXirerLDXmYX1/img_20260306_133134_157.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXMP5ERFBMvo2ajfgAwH2M7djPwMprKo3b9nnRoo5wjWt/texto_11_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZgEYwbWXsPtnALCquFf8frbap3fDb9s56qGhCcPDj5KD/_al_nhyamar78_1_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVY4EGuTB3o3vzY8R4UPP3dV29hXJfLBVDNx5eRYcTprx/versi_n_en_espa_ol_2_.jpg) Hola amigos, las esculturas siguen siendo parte de las cosas que me satisfacen el alma, esta vez escogí un grupo esculturas de artistas cubanos donde predominan como elemento fundamental para sus creaciones las varillas de acero y las mezclas basadas en cemento, arena y tal vez tierra amarilla o barro. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSFVEPYDBiwbQbcMcJjP43NbkZis3cYVL7DuPZ3TBkH38/img_20260306_132219_133.jpg) Sobresalen varios artistas importantes en esta galería al aire libre como es el caso de Kcho con su Tótem de ladrillos en forma de Botes que no solo nos hablan de la maldita geografía o la insularidad que acompaña a los cubanos sino también sobre el fenómeno de la migración a través del mar, principalmente, el estrecho de la Florida. Sin embargo comencé las fotos con la cabeza de martillo como si fuera parte del martillo de la vida que a veces nos empuja duramente hacia donde queremos o no deseamos. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNYTtU1GQPszAheLRFT35LxmpvM8DjBUgw3urA5CnpAVm/img_20260306_132238_780.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZT48CvWcEMzr5NoU72NidqbfdRvFmTDcDyEbEt9qFrgH/img_20260306_132255_323.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbMZY5v4dqbwfhh4ZG4anNEok8uZbaeuEmUNmox5PbZcZ/img_20260306_132343_237.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNiG37nD87bABZAFaM7StCCPkB8wAcuC2epmSLk3BRMQj/img_20260306_132416_050.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZd6pGA3xB9sed3jkQ5Qyi3R8dFpJ3HEf6TcVhM2KksKM/img_20260306_132730_072.jpg) En esta figura que se divide en tres como una danza que gira eternamente me recuerda el ciclo de la vida y como al ser seres sociales, se hace muy difícil saber vivir en soledad. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPJ8rRnjam6LnBi4NpSJSwqgbZTj9c9F8eNj3dbRF7SAy/img_20260306_132710_894.jpg) El asiento para más de una persona reafirma lo antes dicho, esa rara necesidad de estar juntos aunque no sea como una manada, pero si tal vez como una familia. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmawYYm76ZYnc5qpjYbN4aQkRDDMDok3gr9QTsdXogcZpS/img_20260306_132831_417.jpg) Así también estas manos enormes nos reciben no solo para sentarnos sino para compartirlas porque siempre las manos de un amigo o amiga son necesarias en la vida. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmX7MgHqaVoZUhoMnMj8JPRn4bwrbxLgn31n6icpPsscFv/img_20260306_133028_011.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNdjhC3A8qAkzW34BHsoVQ97jXAi6aBuThgHiGMf6r82K/img_20260306_133100_252.jpg) Estas son obras que además de traer un mensaje tienen también cierta funcionalidad para el que disfruta de ellas. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXhXVtD81di6tF6g2hjEcyodfWwdwe4XLTLMep9ubVbyf/img_20260306_133109_264.jpg) Y cierro con esta obra de Kcho que había mencionado anteriormente donde las ansias de escape siempre existen y están presentes como nos recuerdan aquellos versos de José Lezama Lima. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmT5TeTMbFcRatkpHjKchGFK7j864wxZyZXirerLDXmYX1/img_20260306_133134_157.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSc7JwGNfhUMw5Wywv3gQkhRwF3jo366vaiZUD2UNGYAt/texto_12_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZgEYwbWXsPtnALCquFf8frbap3fDb9s56qGhCcPDj5KD/_al_nhyamar78_1_.jpg) _{The text is AI-free, Google translated and proofread by me.} _{The language separator and acknowledgments were created in Canva} _{The photos are my property} _{El texto es libre de IA, traducido en Google y revisado por mí} _{El separador de idiomas y los agradecimientos fueron creados en Canva} _{Las fotos son de mi propiedad}
