In those paintings I focused on the people hands. How painters represented them.
Because of the fact that in the past people were not using protection for their hands.
Even on August Sander photograph of bricklayer; young man doesn't have and and protection. But because of that the picture is posed his hands, and not that important and they appears almost untouched by hard work.

In my project I'm going to focus on the hands of Medway cleaning people. Nowadays they're using protection for their hands, but still I think is not enough and through their hands we can see that so hard work to tidy up what we messed up.
Also I looked at photographs from slum areas around the word and just cropped hand from there. To so how much they are damaged.
People in the slums don't have any kind of protection. Starting from they living space, which is not stable at all and going to their body and skin.
All day, everyday they're working so hard, to go 'home' where everything is more than dirty.
