Group Exhibition curated by Makan and ChaShaMa (Manhattan, NYC)

Zevallos handmade the concrete frames and chose this material as an ode to the earthquake that hit Haiti in 2012, as most of the buildings are made of concrete. She broke the frames and sealed parts of it to highlight the cracks and attempt of being put ‘back together’, as politicians in Haiti have often pretended to do so while ransacking and stealing the millions of dollars that were donated to the country to help in the rebuilding process.

Haitian currency is also glued onto the photographs to further emphasize the concept of fraud by the Haitian government with the help of various International countries present in Haitian politics. Select parts of the frames are also painted as a memory of how some walls in the streets of Port-au-Prince are painted, but due to limited amount materials, the painting stops unexpectedly.
