A new look at slavery. This time it is not blacks that are enslaved but white girls that are shipped over from the Eastern countries under the promise of a new life and a new job in England. When they arrive their passports are removed and they are forced into prostitution. The black and white shoes (arranged like the female sex organs) are symbolic of this development. The many coloured hands round the work are formed in the shape of wreath, mourning the tragic lives ( and sometimes deaths) of these modern sex slaves.
