  • Kadija, a Carib infant born only days before Maria struck, wakes on her makeshift crib at a shelter in the indigenous Kalinago Territories. Her mother, Francelea, remembers holding on to the newborn when Maria tore the roof from her wood plank shack
  • A grocer reopens with a bounty of cassava and plantains. Staple crops have started growing after Maria levelled most if not all of the crops around Dominica
  • Glennsworth Irving was made homeless after Maria blew his house away. He cooks rice a government truck dropped off on Mero Beach. He’s made shelter under a blooming almond tree, optimistic that much like the tree Dominica will come back again soon
  • A plug dangling from a private clinic becomes a vital charging station. With power out in 99% of the island, people have been desperate for power outlets to charge their phones and communicate with family abroad as well as loved ones around the country
  • Two boys cruise through Roseau’s dusty streets as schools remain by and large closed until the safety of their students and teachers is guaranteed. So far, senior level classes have begun trickling back
  • For some, waiting for the island to come back to normalcy simply isn’t an option. Either due to the complete loss of their home or having been victim to the mass layoffs sweeping certain industries on the island. Some are leaving with no plans to return
  • A Dominican Electrical Company technician runs down the street as maintenance around critical hubs of the capital are set back online. Priorities now are governmental facilities as well as police barracks and emergency services
  • Internally displaced people post-Maria remain an unresolved issue. Though shelters exist, many traumatized Dominicans still amble around the island’s villages and coasts living off whatever aid they can find

  • A father hands masks to his family. With waste disposal concentrated to key points in Roseau, locals burn heaps of debris and rotten wood planks making the air abrasive and filled with smoke
  • A man just outside the capital of Roseau clears his home of debris. Most Dominicans aren’t waiting for assistance from the central government, overwhelmed as it is. They’re taking to the streets with axes and shovels to clear the roads and their home
  • The 280 km/h winds eradicated ancient forests that covered every canyon and valley on the island. Pockets of living foliage remain but the very identity of island is at stake. The thousand hues of green that covered Dominica have been stripped into a sing
  • Jaco parrot in a tree in Dominica after Hurricane Maria
    A rare Jaco Parrot, endemic to Dominica, scavenges for food in one of the island’s thrashed rain forests. Since Maria, sightings of the very same parrots emblazoned on the country’s flag, have been even more scarce raising fear of the parrots’ viability
  • A miasma of burning rubbish, dust and rot lingers over Roseau. Dust is kicked up as an aid helicopter ferries aid back and forth into Windsor Stadium from foreign support ships anchored just off coast
  • The mass flooding and debris-laden landslides destroyed motorways and bridges across Dominica. This bridge near Mero on the west side was critically damaged once before during Tropical Storm Erika in 2015
  • Soldiers and police monitor businesses around Dominica such as this super market in Roseau. Dominicans wait hours under the sun to top up their phones, withdraw cash from ATMs and purchase supplies for their households
