Metal Art Village
The Dog Meets World photo team randomly stopped in this village. Steeped in Haitian history, Croix-des-Bouquets, is a good example of Haitian creativity – it resonates with the sounds of the clanging and banging of the mallets and chisels in the process of transforming raw metal into stunning iron sculptures. This was our backdrop to taking & giving the children their first photographs!
