“The Search for Identity series started by looking back over my child- hood, among the decaying infrastructure of a Cuba frozen in a revolution
long past, to understand how my generation came to its present form. But my generalized sociopolitical understanding of the Cuban youth poorly explained the nuances of our society, let alone an individual. And mindful that the key to understanding myself, or anybody for that matter, is hidden in the origins of our traits, expanded my focus by looking at the big picture and then focusing on the speci cs. The big picture being humanity, and the speci cs, the variables that impact an individual’s identity in terms of nature and nurture.”
