Lost and Found 2021

​

​

This intervention project started with a lost broken high heel; it was missing its pair and ultimately had lost its use. The project presents as a metaphor for feeling out of place and lost in the world, what once was may not be an option now; the heel being used as a heel. Instead the project explores the change in purpose and rebirth, suggesting that what’s lost can be found elsewhere and what may have lost its soul purpose can become something else entirely.

The shoe itself is decorated with origami flowers, which in theory went through the same process; what once was a flat piece or paper was now a flower and can no longer be what it once was or be used how you would do a blank piece of paper.
