My Being is Not For Your Profit

The art installation 'My Being is Not For Your Profit' was inspired by the harrowing global issue of forced child marriage, predominantly involving young girls being married off to older men. This poignant piece is symbolized through a unique wedding dress, meticulously crafted by adhering over a thousand Monopoly money pieces. This dress is not just a garment but a powerful statement, representing the struggle and innocence of a child caught in this disturbing cultural practice.
