The Chains of Trafficking | United States

This piece seeks to bring awareness to the plight of victims of human trafficking by providing a call to action for the community. The slogan “Cut it Off’ is the result of research surrounding the routes by which victims are trafficked and the communities they come from. The imagery of a breaking chain is culturally synonymous with freedom where I come from. Choosing to integrate the hand-print symbolism of the Stop Human Trafficking campaign shows the viewer a clear path towards accomplishing the call to action: “Cut It Off”.

Child Soldier | Israel

Millions of children around the world are happily playing war games with cheap plastic toys, manufactured in a mass prodcution process.
In my work I have chosen to present a toy soldier, taken from a popular and innocent children game.
This toy soldier represent thousands of children which are serving as soldiers in armed conflicts around the world.
“These boys and girls, some as young as 8 years old, serve in government forces and armed opposition groups” (Human Rights Watch.org).
