As a photographer, I was attracted by the video re recovery and restoration of Haiti's art. During the Yugoslavian war with its attendant human grief I worried about the country's visual heritage and was saddened by the destruction of the Mostar bridge, since restored.
During Haiti's recovery and necessary burial of bodies without identification, I wanted to go & photograph every person interred without ID. A surgeon friend persuaded me that they would have been unrecognizable. I regret having taken that advice. It was gratifying to see your parallel efforts for Haiti's visual heritage. Your work is a memorial to the dead of the country.
