Life in the Camp After the 2010 Earthquake

Haiti Friends Collection

Temporary camps were constructed following the devastating 2010 earthquake. Makeshift shelters made from tarps and metal sheets illustrate the crowded conditions. People are engaged in their various daily activities, showing that life must continue amidst the chaos. Electrical wires stretch precariously across the scene, hinting at efforts to provide utilities. This painting captures both the hardship and the enduring spirit of the people in the aftermath of the disaster.
