Rafael Morales
a colonial-era tenement in Havana, Cuba
Rafael Morales spends most of his days hovering above the bustling streets of Old Havana, suspended in the air, cleaning windows. After surviving a lightning strike two years ago, Rafael discovered that he could smell the approach of a storm. Now, he meticulously protects the surfaces he cleans, timing his work with the cycle of the sun and the changing colors on his skin.
