Mankind | India

I started off my research by watching ted talks of victims speak about their exploitation. There was a common thread highlighted by many of them; society thinks of human trafficking as a very remote and outlying subject. Images of hands being tied and mouths being shut are associated with the word ‘human trafficking’, whereas in reality, victims are people just like you and me. They are in houses you walk by or in stores you buy your clothes from. Survivors are socially excluded and labelled which forces them to relapse.

躺在眼睛里 | China

The color of the pupils in the eyes is the base color of the pupils of the three major colored people in the world, representing that resisting human trafficking is not the task of a few countries alone, but a goal that everyone should work together. The dark hues, the distorted perspective, the dark cages, the confining handcuffs, the abstract perpetrators of evil. These are the true picture of what is inside the hearts of trafficked children, and these negative emotions and inner thoughts will stay with them for the rest of their lives. It shows the harm and impact of human trafficking. Therefore, it is the responsibility and duty of everyone in the world to resist human trafficking, which concerns you and me.

Watch out for traps | China

Watch out for traps, you can see a man’s face but not his heart. Driven by financial interests, they betray their conscience and traffic human beings. In life, people should raise their awareness of self-prevention. I believe in the future when no one will become a victim of human trafficking.

I use the curved body to make the subject, because that way can best express the feelings of those people.

Shadow of evil | China

Driven by the temptation of money, human trafficking in violation of conscience, coercion or temptation, is a serious violation of human rights. Call for an end to evil thoughts and stop all human trafficking activities.

Old for New | China

A large part of human trafficking is the trafficking of organs. The poster takes the form of anatomical drawings of the human body, and coins are exposed under the hollowed out organs. Organs can be old for new, which reflects the cruel money transaction in organ trafficking.

Humans are not for sale II | Poland

In my project I wanted to show how important the problem is modern slavery. The main idea was to show that a human is not something that can be sold or bought, like merchindise on store shelves. To express it I used simple symbols – a chain, human head and a shop label.
