Blank Stares

Project type: INSTALLATION

Date: July 2023

The two paintings tell a tragic THEN/NOW story of a young girl who is trafficked. On the right she is photographed with her friends. Her white legs represent her innocence and her ability to run freely. Opposite her severed legs against the stark background represent her being trapped. She is missing, nonexistent, and now a victim. Much like a mannequin’s lifeless body, hers is now on display. Some statistics say that there are up to 900,000 predators online. Multiplied by two that equals up to 1,800,000 individual eyes. Widespread technology or the green light facilitates the sale of children and perpetrators who use computers have found ways to remain anonymous, untraceable. With a click of the button, everything can be erased and innocent lives lost to human trafficking.
