Shin highlights the part of the shoe that rarely draws people’s attention, the soles. The base of the shoe bears the body’s weight and serves as a perceptible memory of someone’s footprint. Arranged with soles face up, this work reveals a multitude of heel heights and tread patterns and offers a group portrait of individuals with diverse physical traits and fashion tastes. The organic placement of the soles on the floor resemble the foot traffic of our everyday lives.
