FREE SHIPPING critiques the unseen costs behind the concept of “free shipping,” drawing a connection between modern commerce and historical exploitation. In today’s consumer culture, companies like Amazon offer free shipping as an incentive, but the true cost is absorbed elsewhere. Similarly, in history, particularly during the transatlantic slave trade, people were taken from Africa, and their commodification was justified by economic incentives, with FREE SHIPPING representing the hidden cost of human cargo.
