The human body, similar to the human mind, is a valid resource as an item of trade. Although perceived with disgust, product demand for prostitution and human trafficking has not waned through the ages. Using the face of the ultimate trade, i.e. prostitution, as a metaphor for the faces that we wear in our daily life’s trades, I attempt to take the viewer to the face of an individual consumed by the Trade.

Building a relationship with prostitutes in Johannesburg, South Africa, I depict the detachment that ensues when a Trade defines one's relationship with the transactor, and we become disconnected from the person behind the transaction.
