Developed in 2023, this series was born as I reflected on what remains beneath the different roles a woman inhabits over time. In these images, shoes become a way to trace her journey, revealing background, moods, and circumstance. At times, her shoes express individuality in a world of labels; at others, they are like the unconscious mask she wears to fit social expectations. Still, beneath these roles, a quiet presence persists, like a footprint that does not completely disappear. Inspired by a poem I wrote that continues to accompany the work, the series invites viewers to consider what stays behind their own shifting roles.
