There are two paintings in this series: Victim Number One and Victim Number Two. It is clear that the message conveyed by the artist in these two paintings that the females of the young generation are the bait. In the paintings, they are being dangled to lure the fish symbolising the lust of those who pursue them. Dangled as delectable bait, just as are worms, they can easily fall prey to those who would take advantae of them if opportunity presented itself. Sad to say, these young women often enough become victims because of zeal for possessions and material objects of desire. In more extreme cases, such young women become drug addicts or contemplate suicide.
