Taro Yamasaki:
Black Heart, Red Heart
Taro
Yamasaki’s Black Heart, Red Heart project challenges the myths and
misperceptions that blind us to human trafficking in America. The title
is from a young trafficking survivor’s crayon drawing of her passage
from horror to healing: from the black heart of abuse to the red heart
of rescue and safe shelter. Yamasaki focuses his lens on the human face
of this hideous crime rather than on stereotypical images of mean
streets and back alleys. His photographs teach that, with proper care,
the scars of modern slavery can be healed.To see Taro Yamasaki's images, go to
