Moccasin

0.0 x 0.0

Something new in life, a prince, perhaps, or somthing else, all „small“ girls dream of the fairy tale in which the shoe changed a girls life. Subconsciously every woman has this desire for romance. It can hardly be put in words what shoes can do. They can help to leave the `old `behind and to take a first step in the future. But that is only one answer. Wearing shoes, collecting them, enchanting, transforming….. shoes make fairy tale true! Once one has found the dream shoe: whether portable or not, that`s not important. It has to be beautiful and sexy, it has to be enchanting. It doesn`t need to be comfortable but shapely, it doesn`t need to fit for all occasions – but it should stand out on every occasion – men shall be seduced and women shall be tumbled. Shoes are a status symbol – shoes show: who, what, or how, somebody is. If someone reads the way of this language - ??? – someone can understand a woman? Giving shoes away – such a thing doesn`t exist – because shoes connect, shoes let us dream, shoes let us desire grow and become true, shoes are simply IMPORTANT. Project: Shoes as an object In the beginning of my work it was difficult to get shoes from girls. So I took some of my own shoes. And so, over the years, many women like my idea of `keeping` their favorite shoes, and convert them into objects. The project remains in motion as the shoes.
