STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING
shadow of the statue of liberty human trafficking
The main body of my work is a cage made of barcodes, and a hand stretched out from the cage, eagerly reaching out to the outside world. The bar code represents “sale”. The cage, like a prison, represents people who have lost their freedom due to human trafficking. The color of the notes outside the cage represents reggae music, which symbolizes hope and hopes to save them and lead a better life.
“Peace” is what this poster is called because knowingly the after-effects of some of these victims of human trafficking are almost unheard yet still traumatizing. Traumatizing in the sense that some of these effects are with them in memory for the long haul. Traumatizing in one aspect and a lesson learned another creating a lot of agony and fear. Effects such as (PSTD) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Ostracism, etc. caused by either lack of employment, vulnerability, poverty, or even simple ignorance. This Poster depicts a woman crying her eyes out along with wondering eyes with tied hands behind the text written. The blood represents prolonged violence amongst or women especially whether victims of human trafficking whether survivors and the deceased.
This work is mainly shown through the trading two-dimensional code, in the two-dimensional code, human as clearly priced items appear. The profit of human trafficking is in sharp contrast to the value of a piece of clothing. It is because there is a market demand and profit that the human trade occurs.Fight human trafficking with irony.
Many great countries are built upon the labor of smaller countries.
This poster shows a child who has been trafficked. His eyes are filled with horrible traffickers. The vicious expression of the trafficker makes the children feel terrified. He is crying. From his scared eyes, he can tell that he is talking to the traffickers. “No”, the child shows helplessness, fear and a desire to break free.
Sex trafficking sees its victims as toy to play with.
“Stop” human trafficking with the “red x”, which has become a symbol of human trafficking.
