This illustration is inspired by the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU), a dissident organization that advocates for civil liberties and democracy on the island. UNPACU has faced harassment and persecution from the regime for its peaceful but firm opposition. I used a free torch 3D model from TurboSquid and added custom textures and effects in Photoshop to conjure the final render🧙♂️. The torch symbolizes the light of freedom and hope that UNPACU represents for many Cubans.
