A richly observed slice of Cuban street life, Dominoes in the Courtyard captures a spirited game in full swing. Shirtless players lean into the action, hands in motion, brows furrowed in focus, while onlookers observe with the quiet intensity of seasoned regulars. Ian Livesey brings us into the middle of the scene, framing this tightly composed moment with all the character, rhythm, and colour of a Havana afternoon.
The dusty table, worn tiles, and patched walls tell of a space well lived-in, steeped in tradition and community. There’s humour in the body language, pride in the posture, and a beautiful honesty in the expressions. This is a celebration of everyday ritual — and the game that brings neighbours together.
