The poster focuses around Forced Labour segment of Human Trafficking and represents the concept of the man in need, who find the solution or the opportunity to solve his life essential needs and struggles by shaking hand with another man, who seems to have status and connections and obviously building the world of promises to the one in need to gain his trust. The man in need being trapped in his situation and not knowing what to do, follows the man with the promises blindly, without knowing what he is signing for. Once the promising handshake happened, the man signed himself to the forced labour and disappearing without a trace by undergoing unimaginable conditions and attitude of those who are behind this filthy business.
I used the wash label on my clothes to make a satirical poster with some slogans about human trafficking. This poster is my silent protest and outrage!
In my poster I wanted to cause impact and transmit the message, for that I included a little girl, victim of trafficking sitting on the top of a hill, the elevation meaning the course she had to go thru, reaching for a glowing lotus flower, a flower many times associated with human trafficking as it symbolizes renewal and superation, a flower that rises from the muddy waters and blossoms into a beautiful flower, representing the journy many of these victims had to go thru, so in the poster you can see the girl reaching for the flower as only her hopes prevail during those times, the color blue is also used in the flower and in the girls dress as it is the universal color for human trafficking prevention.
Buying and selling human beings and barcodes in the form of burnt matches in which smuggled and sold human beings have a burnt life and are of burnt generation.
The designer wanted to express that human trafficking targets physically weak people, such as women, the elderly, children, just like in the song “Shadows After Dark” by Reggae Artists United. Human trafficking violates the human dignity of so many vulnerable people and constitutes a true crime against humanity. The designer wants to stress the urgency to stop human trafficking with the visual elements introduced to this poster.
Human trafficking costs many lives. Life buoy representing survival from these deaths. Hands cling together to break this cycle.
This poster combines human with machine to show that exploitation and forced labor make human not human.
People cannot forcefully love. They cannot be forced to give someone their love. They cannot be forcibly sold to anyone. The love and life of man are not for sale. While explaining the subject; I thought of the Shadows After Dark lyrics. Colors and demeanor had to be completely reggae.
