Most of the population in Haiti relies on cooking with charcoal, a fact that has contributed to the widespread deforestation of the country. In this quilt, the artist issues a warning that something must change. The number of trees are dwindling and the beautiful landscape of hills and foliage she shows in the distance will disappear.
