特に10代の女子を狙った性奴隷の人買い・人売りの問題が深刻なアメリカ社会。時に僕の住んでいるオクラホマ州はその交差点。

Human trafficking has been a serious issue that has been slowly recognized in the US. I heard Oklahoma, where I live, has been a crossroad of human trafficking. 

そのアウェアネスの為の展覧会に出した作品です。

This work was for an exhibition calling the awareness of human trafficking and its significant impact on victims and society. This problem had often been ignored. 

油絵で描いた人物画をもとに、写真などを合わせて作りました。

被害者の声のない叫びをテーマに題をつけました。

"find me" expresses the victims' desperate hope. The figure was originally painted in oil on a ceramic tile. Then I combine it with other paintings, photos, and drawings on Photoshop.

展覧会に出した作品は、このプリントに沢山の目とを描いて、黒で何個所かを塗りつぶし、その絵ごとグシャグヤに丸めてしわを付けました。

For the exhibition, I printed it out and painted several eyes, using a thick application of black painting. Then I made whole paper into a ball like trash, then open it again to form wrinkles as if the piece was older (victims have been forgotten). 

それをシャドウボックスに入れて展示しました。

Finally, the piece was placed in a shadowbox (confinement) and displayed.
