'Bent' – CHOSEN BY DEREK RIDGERS

Sarah Galasko, 33, London

to me, it represents changing Britain today - people used to care about high quality locally made products, represented by the Corset business. The man carries a bag from Morrisons, and that is Britain today - we just look for the best price. The man is bent over, he might have made use of the Corset business previously. The Corset business is no longer there I think, it's been converted into flats. It's right on the border between Glasgow's redeveloped Merchant City and the East End which still suffers from unemployment and lack of opportunities.
