“Tilt-Shift, Stop-Motion, Squatting in Hillside Haiti”
A few miles outside Port-au-Prince is a government-established camp for displaced people — Camp Corail, the only “official” camp in Haiti. Rows and rows of neatly spaced tents provide shelter for thousands of people. But just past Corail, a more “organic” community has sprouted. Nearly 100,000 squatters have taken things into their own hands and taken to the hills.
My takeaway from this inspiring story is the key phrase “organic community”

this work bring a tear to my eye every time i see it. the power of public art to stir emotion and to really tap into the connectivity of humanity is HUGE! god dammit if there is nothing in the world more beautiful than a genuinely carefree expression of joy.
