Scissors 3

In this intense depiction from the “Scissors” series, the open scissors cutting through the face of a worker symbolize the silenced cries and unspoken agony of garment workers. The figure’s mouth is bound by the sharp blades, representing the suppression of their voices and the inability to express the pain they endure in their labour. The collage of text across the face hints at media and societal disregard, with the workers’ struggles drowned out by headlines and distractions. The vibrant red surrounding the image evokes a sense of urgency and danger, as though their screams are trapped within the chaotic, oppressive machinery of the industry.
