Artist Statement By Ryan Hanberry
The woman on the cover represents a person who has endured the horrors of being trafficked . For the few who survive their ordeal the psychological damage is catastrophic and they often feel broken and useless . While I was thinking on this I got an image in my head that just would not go away , so I drew it . The illustration is symbolic not of how she looks to the world but rather how she feels inside , broken , perhaps un-repairable . I can only surmise what this really feels like to a survivor , of course , so this drawing will fall short . However , my hope is that through this illustration someone may connect with the pain those enslaved suffer and be inspired to prevent slavery from happening in the first place .
