As I cross oceans, seas, and inlets, I explore the faces before me, their character lines that tell me stories about their lives. I study their hands and can feel their anxieties, which are masked by paint. I feel their expressions and sense their gaze, an opportunity to say "hello." It is short journey to Regla, across from Old Havana; a town of artists and musicians and the home of Chacon, Guaracheros de Regla and the traditional Virgen de Regla Santeria celebrations.
