I took on the project rather organically. In the semester previous to my study abroad, I had somewhat of a political awakening, and because of that and my love for "nature", I quickly invested myself in our global environmental crisis. During my three months in Cuba in the spring of 2015, I spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with the agricultural system, approaching it from various perspectives. At first I was just amazed by how fresh and delicious all the fruits and vegetables were at the markets, as well as in the variety of unfamiliar sizes and shapes I was seeing them in.
