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.

Surreal - Part II
Material: Leather / Year: 2025
This work 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 traditional shoe-like features are stripped away in favor of abstraction. 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.​​​​
