In this print captured by Andres Martinez Casares, we are transported to a scrapyard in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The image showcases the daily struggles and resourcefulness of the Haitian people as a man carries a piece of metal amidst the chaotic mess that surrounds him. The close-up shot allows us to witness the intricate details of the rusted steel, highlighting its weathered appearance and creative use in recycling.
