The artist spent four weeks travelling through California collecting over 16,000 used toys which were all made in China. He also photographed workers from five toy factories in China. These portraits and those used toys are turned into a giant photographic installation, in order to pay homage to all the nameless toy factory workers in the world. Photos of honeycomb-like cities are displayed as well.
