YOU CAN SAVE LIFES | Portugal

A phase

The poster depicts an act of violence, by means of two arms, one pulling the other aggressively. The objective to show the attitude of violence and control that one person has over the other in situations of human trafficking.
At the top of the poster it is the quote “trust no shadows after dark” from the song “Shadows After Dark” reminding us not to trust everyone because some people are not what they show. At the bottom, an appeal in the hope of creating awareness and get people to inform themselves and others about this huge issue.

Don’t forget me | China

submissions

From the perspective of the victim and the offender, this series of works expresses two states of sadness and cruelty in blue and red. To hide the pain on the faces of trafficked persons and the distorted faces of the perpetrators to satisfy their selfish desires, I hope that people can find sympathy in the poster, which aims to arouse people’s attention to human trafficking. Maybe one day, this will happen to us.

68-Barbed Wire as Stockings | United States

C phase

On my poster, I mimic the barbed wire with a pair of stockings. This, to symbolize the suffering of the person, for example in this case women. The use of color is important in my poster, because it represents anger and blood. The typeface I use gives it a touch of fragility, just like the layout.

Gamble with lives | Hong Kong

A phase

Human trafficking is the trade of humans for various purposes which could be, forced labor, commercial sexual exploitation, or others. People are no longer seen as humans, but as goods, as objects to trade, exchange and collect.
The poster “Gamble with Lives” wants to visualize how traffickers lose the perception of a person as a human being, distilled to only a profitable game. As a metaphor, the life of a person loses any importance, any value and becomes part of a gambling game. Their souls imprinted on the cards lead to the ultimate goal, enrich their traffickers.
