Trapped bodies, trapped dreams. | Turkey

A phase

In my design, I addressed the issue of child trafficking, which is a part of human trafficking. In the design, I tried to reflect the problem of employing these children as sex workers after the trade made through kidnapped children and young girls. The fact that children who are exposed to this evil are trapped in a body that does not belong to them and their despair is what I want to explain in this work. It was my main idea that these children who are employed as sex workers wait for their dreams and lives to be saved.

Find the man who did this | Latvia

A phase

On average, girls first become victims of sex trafficking at 13 years old. What terrible and heartbreaking statistics! It should not happen. I wanted to make a poster to draw attention to this – that they are only children! Find these men who did this – the men who sexualised children, who used them, who stole their childhood, who used their misery and weakness.

In the world, the number of trafficked people is increasing year by year, of which adult women account for the majority. Human traffickers exploit them to obtain high profits. When they have no use value, they also sell their organs. Among the criminals, we are all commodities.

The Red Balloon | United States

A phase

My design is focused on a red heart shaped balloon that cast a shadow that resembles the image of a barcode. The heart shaped balloon is a symbol of a free individual, while the casted shadow implies the hidden truth, where the individual is trapped in the market of human trafficking, and is not truly free to live.
