Innocent people who lose their way in any way can fall into a trap. Unfortunately they are caught by bad people. The problems they face afterwards are far beyond what we can imagine. I wish all innocent people to get rid of their plight..
A tragic experience like human trafficking can change a person forever. It breaks them mentally and often physically too. I wanted to depict that in my poster.
awsome
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.
This poster is about the vicious world we live in where vicious actions as listed in the poster are happening through human trafficking which has to be made aware and stopped.
Sweet trap
This poster is a rebellion-like poster for the stopping and awareness of human trafficking, which includes selling people. Humans are not for sale.
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.
What this work wants to express is the frequent human trafficking, using readily visible vending machines as a satire, as long as human transactions can be carried out easily, in order to appeal to human beings to respect each other and prohibit human trafficking
