This work explores the process of transformation as a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis.
A chrysalis appears to be a still and dormant form, yet within it, a profound transformation takes place — a body dissolves and reorganizes into a new existence.
The leather shoe base represents a vessel similar to a chrysalis, holding the state before transformation.
The raw pigskin extending above it suggests the outline of a life form that has not yet fully taken shape, capturing the presence of something emerging from within.
Leather is a material that once belonged to a living being, and through human hands, it is given a new form and purpose.
This transformation echoes the process of life changing from one state into another, from a chrysalis into a butterfly.
Through the familiar form of a shoe, an object closely connected to the human body, this work explores the boundaries between body, material, and life.
