藝術家將自己裝扮成數百個不同的人，一個人飾演了畫面上的全體學生和一位教師。校服賦予了學生統一的造型，但每一個女生還是花費心思想要和其他人區別開來，她們會改變裙子的長短，把襯衫從腰部扯出來或是穿別致的襪子。每個人都在試圖在集體中體現出各自的不同，但同時這幾百個人又是同一個人。
In the work, artist disguises herself as hundreds of different people, one of whom plays all the students and a teacher. School uniforms homogenize teenagers in their looks, but each girl still tries to distinguish herself from the others by changing the length of her skirt, hanging out shirts or wearing unique socks. Everyone is trying to be different in a group, but at the same time these hundreds of people are the same person.
