“The Bleeding Hearts” addresses dignity through the experience of forced prostitution and gendered violence. The poster shows a woman’s face marked by suffering, with blood-like tears symbolizing both physical and emotional pain under coercion. It highlights how exploitation strips away consent, safety, and bodily autonomy, reducing dignity to mere survival. By merging tears and blood, the work visualizes silent suffering that is often hidden or ignored. The piece calls for recognition and protection of those affected, asserting that dignity cannot exist without freedom from violence, control, and exploitation.
