Picked by slaves
These mixed-media illustrations were created for the Thomson Reuters Foundation and their modern slavery editorial team. They accompany a multimedia story published on their website and shared across their social media platforms. The peice follows labour inspectors as they drive rescue workers from slavery on two sprawling plantations in southeastern Brazil as the coffee harvest draws to a close. The illustrations enhance the narrative and provide visual context and depth to the story.
