Faceless but Not Forgotten

In a world where social media reigns supreme, our faces have become an integral part of our online identity. We curate our profiles with perfect selfies, showcasing our best smiles and most radiant skin. But what happens when the masks we wear online are stripped away? What about those who remain faceless in this digital landscape?

The Forgotten Voices

The anonymous workers of the gig economy - those who drive for ride-sharing services or deliver food on-demand without ever revealing their faces to the public eye. Theirs is a world of endless hustle, where every fare and delivery must be met with precision and speed, yet they remain nameless and faceless.

They are not forgotten in the sense that no one actively remembers them, but rather because they exist outside the confines of traditional employment. Without stable hours or set paychecks, their work is easily overlooked by society at large. The facelessness that comes with this anonymity only serves to further marginalize these workers, as if their labor and dedication were inconsequential.

Meet Juan, Maria, or John - individuals who spend most of their days ferrying passengers from one place to another without ever exchanging a word. They're the backbone of our modern transportation systems yet often find themselves at the mercy of algorithm-driven apps that dictate their pay and working conditions.

The lack of face-to-face interaction not only strips them of any sense of job security but also silences their voices in society's conversation. No campaign slogans are plastered on city streets or newspapers, advocating for better pay or safer roads, for these workers remain largely invisible to the public eye.
