Fisherman's Boat
Jamel, Haiti
Summer 2013
When Haiti suffered an earthquake in 2010, money and aid poured in from the USA. So many people were homeless so we imported thousands and thousands of tents so that the Haitians had a place to live. Many of the people lived in these tents for two or three years. When I went over in the summer of 2013, I saw people who still lived int eh tents. But I also saw signs of the tents being recycled in many ways. Artists had cut their tents up and used the canvas for painting. Others used the tent panels as fencing, to keep neighbors out. Many of the fishermen used the tents as sails for their boats.
