Handmade booties crafted from home-tanned and naturally dyed salmon leather, featuring a strap with an engraved brass buckle, 2026.

Zarah: Nébhos means dew above the water. The engraving on the buckle is inspired by an ancient Bronze Age lunula, dating to around 2000 BC, discovered in Ireland. This shoe is part of the AMBI BUTI series, a project I have been developing for some time. In this series, I re-engage in a dialogue with the material, much as people did in ancient times.
