Human Trafficking Awareness Week

Eros is known as the god of love. According to Freudian theory this includes the sexual instinct which may lead to the pursuit of uninhibited pleasure. The negative results of uninhibited self-gratification in the absence of a transcendent authority in the post-modern world include activities such as pornography, prostitution, child molestation and human trafficking. Gratification for the perpetrator invariably leads to the destruction of the victim, mentally and often physically.

In these works a decaying leaf becomes a metaphor for the fragility of the victim. Scripture becomes a metaphor for the soul of the victim which is set free, often only through death.
