Jean Jacques Dessalines, the leader of the Haitian Revolution of 1803, is poignantly depicted experiencing profound sadness in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. The devastation caused by the earthquake left the country in ruins and vulnerable to foreign forces who exploited Haiti for financial gain. Dessalines, with a heavy heart, is asking for Justice for the country and its people who continue to face unimaginable hardships. His expression reflects the pain of a nation seeking solace and restoration.
