Terisa E GigielTerisa Gigiel is a self-described coimetromaniac-a person who feels compelled to visit cemeteries. To her, cemeteries are peaceful places, places of remembrance. They are also places of great learning, as she has discovered over the years.

>Gigiel fell in love with Cuba from her first trip there. Over the years, she kept returning to this island nation, eager to explore all facets of the culture. During her many travels, she discovered the joy of photography and hasn't looked back since.

Her love for Cuba and its people culminated in this yearslong passion project where she hopes to inspire people to discover the richness cemeteries can bring to their travels. After all, as she says, "No matter which path we choose to follow in life, it will lead us all to the same destination . . . We are created of dust and shall return to dust."

Gigiel lives with her husband in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Read More Read Less
