Inspired by Amina and Sarah Said, the two daughters killed by their father, the subjects of Dis-Appear like Dis-Honor, and the award-winning documentary, The Price of Honor. The image comes directly from the film, when the father videoed the girls in bed, together with his son, Islam, taunting them for wearing their pants, their street-clothes to bed, commenting on their “nice legs.”
It makes one think of both blaming rape victims because of what they were wearing - and also newly invented protective garments, to protect against sexual assault.
