Trafficking in Persons Report Eye chart | Taiwan

A phase

Using the concept of visual acuity chart combined with barcode, the larger the barcode, the more serious it is, and the larger and more blurred it means that we all know this country, but because it is blurred, we don’t understand that the situation in this country is so dangerous, and the smaller it is, the clearer it is. It means maintaining the standard of TVPA. TVPA is divided into 3 levels, the third level is the most serious, and the first level represents the most standard. I hope that more people can know the severity of each region through the visual acuity chart.

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.

Control | Taiwan

A phase

I want to use the skeleton of the sketch to express the skeletal lines of the hand to control the human feeling because the topic is human trafficking. The lines in the picture are also presented with barcodes.

The topic of human trafficking can be saddening and serious. This is something I did not want to neglect to portray, but I also wanted to show that there are solutions to this problem. The idea of “hope is what you bring” derives from the song Shadows After Dark, and I interpreted it as people having the ability to bring light to a dark situation. If people choose to reach out and help in any way they can, they can end up helping someone who is in need or those who might come face-to-face with this issue someday.
