In the spring of 2013, I went on a mission trip to Atlanta, GA, where I worked with homeless women and children who had once been victims of sex trafficking. It was important for me to create a project that reflected my new found awareness for sex trafficking and its consequences. I created the an female form, made into an object from carved wood. She is lacking arms, legs and a head, which for me represents her lack of say and independence (relic). The system of sex trafficking would be the reliquary that holds her.
