Unique shoe sculpture, constructed of metal, wood and leather, 2025.
Part of the Symbiont project (from 2019 to the present). A series of art objects in the form of non-wearable shoes. About the symbiosis of architecture and fashion, bodily vulnerability and the fragility of the human body.
Architecture and fashion are forms of protection from everything outside, from bad weather, from environmental conditions and the creation of a safe zone. You can give an example of insects and their chitinous layer as a shell and protection from everything outside, including predators and dangers. Initially, architecture and fashion had the same goals, but it was later achieved by the comfort of life, beauty and other needs. But what if all this were combined, what would it look like? The project, consisting of sculptures in the form of shoes, costumes and masks, is an attempt to imagine all this and reflect on who we are.
