My graduation project

In ‘Draag Droeg Gedragen’ (Wear Wore Have Worn), I have researched my love for shoes.

The first shoes that kick-started my shoe obsession were my dad’s formal shoes. In this work I pretend to be in these beloved shoes and notice that they will never actually fit me. I talk about caring for the wrinkles and scars which appear as you grow up.
