Tout moun se moun*
Gabriel Wrye
April – August 2010
in Gallery 3
A filmmaker by trade, Gabriel Wrye traveled with a group of nurses from Louisville
to Port au Prince, Haiti in the aftermath of the January earthquake to assist the
relief effort in whatever manner he could.
While in Haiti, Wrye met the photojournalist Daniel Morel, who took some of the
first images of the victims being pulled from the rubble that subsequently helped
rally the aid relief from the international community. Arriving just three weeks
after these first images were taken, Wrye began to photograph the landscape and
people of Port au Prince and to capture an unconventional glimpse of both the destruction
and the everyday life of Haitians coping, struggling and even rejoicing in the face
of tragedy.
* "Tout moun se moun" means "Every person is a person" in Haitian
