SOUL MATTERS
An art exhibition on human trafficking
The art exhibition comprised various art installations focused on conveying and expressing the profound feelings and emotions of women who have suffered from human trafficking. It was an invitation to engage with this important and often overwhelming topic, to identify with the situations of people who live on the margins of our society, and to gain a deeper understanding of their lives.

“You have showed the theme of trauma in an artistic and respectful way and you managed to find fine line of showing this topic in a serious, sensitive and interesting way and not in a pathetic or over emotionally "rapturous" way. The sensitivity you showed in it impressed me.”

“I kept thinking about the exhibition afterwards. The interactive art performance showed very impressively to me, that "women" have absolutely no value in this dirty business.”
