for his ‘lighthouses’ series, cuban graphic designer adrian labaut hernandez illustrates structures with a beacon of golden light on top. these buildings are presented in desolated landscapes rendered black and white, except for the illuminating detail, giving an overall melancholic sensation. hernandez comments on his lighthouses stateting that they are, ‘destined never to be happy, isolated beings on earth, without any attachment to life, except for a few workers who hear the winds from the top and the song of the sea in what becomes their house. they don’t ask for much and don’t expect much either.’
