Esteban Delgado

a colonial-era tenement in Havana, Cuba

Esteban Delgado, a dedicated pawnbroker, spends his days immersed in the rhythms of Old Havana. His life revolves around the promises and commodities exchanged within his narrow, cluttered shop, where each item holds a story of its own. Known for the peculiar act of walking 300 miles to attend the funeral of someone he never knew, Esteban's artistic endeavors mirror his profound respect for pause and memory.
