Sasha Kurbatov and Vanane Borian spent around a year on the project that now stands on Tel Aviv's iconic Rothschild Boulevard, as a protest against the trade in Israel, where trafficking in women is technically illegal but sadly goes on.
In a post on her Facebook page, Kurbatov links to an article about the work from the Independent, which points at how the U.S. State Department in 2015 "ranked Israel in the top tier of destinations for human trafficking" and recommended improved enforcement of laws that have been passed against it.
