you’re like garbage | Taiwan
Women, children, like garbage, use up and lose
My design is based on a bar code with the eyes of a victim of human trafficking. The red lines represent the blood falling from the eyes in a way showing the hardship these victims go through.
Today, human trafficking is a cruelty that should be ashamed of humanity. It is necessary to raise awareness about this persecution. While you are looking at this poster today, about 2 more people fell victim to human trafficking. Hope this poster will be a voice for all the victims whose lives have lived in captivity.
A man who has been involved in human trafficking said that the dark truth seen in people’s eyes is only three percent of the field of human trafficking. What this poster wants to express is that there is a huge demon behind human trafficking, which is invisible to people’s eyes.
Regardless of when or how a victim of human trafficking falls into the clutches of their abusers, they each are caught in a seemingly endless exchange of hands.
The concept of the poster was taken from the phrase “Soon as you blink another life ah get stolen” which belongs to the campaign’s music. The idea is to show the eye gradually closing at dusk which also comes down to the name of the song “Shadows after dark”, in the end the black line shows the end of a retired life that didn’t have time to recover, this would give an alert for everyone to be aware of this cause.
Slavery is the parent of more suffering than has flowed from any one source since … condition through time will be second only to the wretched creatures in Hell.If there is no demand, there is no sale.
Human trafficking has unfortunately become a cycle carried out by human traffickers. Human trafficking and the viewing of human beings as commodities must be stopped.
In the poster I want to show how someone is forced to smile and become an object that is for sale, without being able to do anything about it
“Open Your Eyes” is a really important phrase that would help to prevent Human Trafficking. It is also a phrase of the lyrics of “Shadows after Dark” by Reggae Artist United. No doubt that awareness, and prevention are keys into fighting against Human Trafficking. And also keeping your eyes open with contribute with any denounce of suspicious activities that could be related with that crime.
