In this powerful reflection, Jean-Daniel Lafontant recounts his personal experience during Haiti’s devastating 2010 earthquake. Speaking in response to an evocative artwork, he describes the moment the quake struck, the chaos that followed, and the haunting sights and sounds that still remain vivid in his memory. From the collapse of buildings to the eerie fog of debris and the collective grief expressed in the Creole phrase "nap kriye san" (“we are crying blood”), Lafontant’s words capture both the deep trauma and enduring resilience of the Haitian people.
