A young black girl is bound in clothes. The yoke she's bearing, her burden, her stress. She craves for freedom but must adhere to appearances. she's a slave to her outward appearance to what she wants others to perceive, dressing to the occasion and tunes of others. A slave in her own clothes therefore a slave in her own skin. This story tells how people are being enslaved by their own way of fashion in order to feel welcomed in the society .
