Packaging from the puzzle series
They are susceptible to falling into the traps of international human trafficking mafias (including the sexual slavery of children under the age of ten and the sale of their organs). It in conjunction with the works Passport; Anonymous; Introspection; Identity Bank and Mind Maps are part of the Puzzles series.
The passport-type photographs that I use for the works of the Puzzles Series, I have taken of emigrants who flee their countries because their lives are in danger, they often tell me their stories and many of them are heartbreaking. It is possible that most of them will be accepted as refugees indefinitely, others only temporarily and the most unfortunate will be deported to their countries of origin.
