This set of three drawings is about the dangers of the workers invisibility, even though they are essential to the global economy. A small selection of these jobs is depicted in the white on white drawing (The Invisibles 1). Poor working conditions and unworthy exploitation of resources often go hand in hand (The Invisibles 2). The abuse of workers and of the environment has a fatal impact, which is poisoning, pollution, death, crime, etc. (The Invisibles 3).

Wisteria, pictured here in three colors, has the strange paradox of being both a lush and toxic plant.
