This mini collection of three handcrafted pair of boots was inspired by the expressive and spiritual art of African masks, translated to walk the urban street as a statement of female empowerment.
Intentionally ignoring the idealised, western notion of the female body, this work amplifies the leg with an unconventional silhouette. It echos this intricate tribal art, which comes to life through a play on proportions. Enhancing and disfiguring, shapes are simplified and exaggerated. And the idea of body modification is used to deter modern day evil abuse.
