Child Trafficking: 2016

It started with the movie "Taken" and a "Ross Kemp Extreme World Documentary". It was then when an angsty 16-year-old learned that the youngest child to ever be Sex Trafficked...was 3 months old.  

What started as a school assignment turned into a mission driven by rage and the desire to express that outrage by shocking others od the situation within the syrian refugeee camps. It was the first time I had ever done art direction without realising it. This assignment (that got censored and cancelled from my dissertation) became my ticket to enter Kingston University School of Art. 

All it took was a garage, second hand clothes, some make-up, a consenting parent and a
Syrian refugee

Combining Jonathon Hobin's photographic style with a previous art project that ignited my passion for Art Direction, I engaged in a more profound examination of Child Trafficking in the United Kingdom. 

I delved into the concept of how a child might imaginatively represent such a harrowing reality through the lens of a toy dressing table, for example. 

The resulting painting emerged as a central focal point and
face of the "Everything is a Remix" Exhibition.
