Surreal

Purple leather ankle bootie, unconventional form and exaggerated volume with high stiletto heel, 2024

This artistic footwear explores the nature of abrupt transition, capturing a moment of disruption. The familiar lower part of the footwear serves as a foundation, anchoring the design. However, it is quickly altered as all traditional shoe-like features are stripped away in favor of abstraction.
The monochromatic color enhances the footwear’s unconventional form and exaggerated volume. Despite its avant-garde appearance, the internal mule structure ensures the shoe remains functional, grounding the surreal in practicality. Ultimately, this design embodies a moment of intense change and impact.
