These street arts are from Canada and Haiti because my family is Haitian but I was born in Ottawa. The first picture  is a couple of Haitian men running for safety during the 2010 earthquake, which was a terrible time for Haitians in the area at which the earthquake happened. The second picture is maple leaf which is the representation of the Canadian flag and it showing that the artist who made it loves their country and wants everyone to see how awesome its symbol is. The third picture is also about the earthquake expect it represents that the town that street art is in is getting on with life and looking towards the future in a positive way.
