Control | Taiwan
Controlling people’s behavior should stop immediately.
noTrust | Turkey
The artwork named “noTrust” is a reminder of danger. People cant see anyone’s true faces, and the artwork is based on that idea. We cant see the man’s face but we have to know that we shouldnt trust anyone.
The Guidance | Bangladesh
In this poster, the lion holding two children resembles both a protecting guardian and a guide who gives us the message to become concerned about fake people and human trafficking. The fox wearing a human face mask resembles the fake people and the shadow of the fox connotates the song “Shadow After Dark”. The dreadlocks hairstyle of this lion has symbolized the Reggae musicians as they are the “Messengers”. And the Rastafarian color scheme is used here to shake up Pan-Africanism in Africans’ hearts as the African counties are suffering more in this case.
Free from the shadow | Bangladesh
I tried to portray the reality of human trafficking through tis poster. Getting passed the border may seem like a good idea for some. but once you cross it, you become a product for sale.
Uncage | Ireland
The narrative of this piece was to make a scene that was as uplifting and full of hope as possible, considering the very serious subject matter. Jamaica will always be a historically known country of freedom and liberation and so for this reason the narrative is one of this liberation. I wanted to include many elements that were directly related to Jamaican culture as visual metaphors for Jamaica itself and so the the national bird of Jamaica(Swallow-Tail Hummingbird) is used to be representative of the victims of trafficking. The Jamaican jungle, with its indigenous flowers are the Jamaican heart as they reach out, with extended arm-like vines pulling and breaking the cage open, taking the power away from the greyed out (shadowed) figures of oppression. Those without color. Without a soul.
The Devil Is Trafficking | Bolivia
The poster itself shows the meaning of being caught by strangers for commercial purposes. In this case symbolized with the devil that has a person inside his mouth, and the teeth looks like a cage.
What is a commodity | China
For women who have been victimized by capital, are they really commodities?In our mind, what is the real commodity?
We are human | Taiwan
Those who are trafficked, seem to be treated as playthings, and then become commodities. That is not what he or she wants to be, nor is it voluntary for them.
