The Salvation Army is an international movement and part of the universal Christian church. They believe in opportunities — in second chances, third chances, and every chance after that.
Their work includes professional care, community outreach, secondhand clothing services, and emergency aid for those who need it most.

Soelaas Magazine No. 11 – ‘Human Trafficking’
Human trafficking is a serious issue that often takes place under the radar. Victims are frequently unable or too afraid to speak out, while perpetrators operate in well-organized networks. The Salvation Army is committed to making a difference — supporting survivors and confronting this injustice.
The illustration for this issue was meant to reflect the gravity of the problem and visually convey the real emotions behind the experiences of victims.

Soelaas Magazine No. 10 – ‘Forensic Care’
For this issue, I was commissioned to create a visual story consisting of 10 illustrations, centered around the story of Eddy — a former inmate trying to reintegrate into society with the support of The Salvation Army.

The visual narrative follows his journey of recovery, struggle, and the step toward a new beginning. Each illustration highlights a pivotal moment in his life, capturing the emotional and personal layers of his path toward healing and hope.
