Series is a portfolio of digital images dealing with the my own
experiences as a Cuban-American when confronted with the absurdities,
contradictions and irrationalities of our dealings with the realities
of Cuba today. Through this series I try to examine my at times
uncomfortable, at times maddening, at times exhilarirating reactions
to the news media when dealing with my native land.
I began to collect
Cuban stamps and memorabilia a few years back with the deep desire
to somehow create a book or work of some nature that would tell
the history of Cuba through the tiny graphic jewels that are stamps.
Such scholarly activity is not really in my nature as I've come
to accept. I've undertaken to recreate the history of my country
from the perspective of one very bewildered individual that has
heard a lot of contradictory tales and can only resort to what she
can create for herself as the only verifiable facts.
This entire series was requested as an addition to their Permanent Collection by the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Puerto Rico, San Juan, P.R. after the one-woman show "Toward a Digital Aesthetic- the art of Yolanda V. Fundora" that took place there from November 2005 to January 2006.
