Hand-sewn flowers emerge from the upper of a trail shoe, crafted to feel as if it belongs in the wild. This familiar form invites both motion and tactile connection.
Explain
Rooted in the experience of running single track, this work reflects fleeting contact—grass, dirt, and wildflowers brushing against the shoe with each step. The stitched florals mark moments of presence: losing oneself in movement, losing track of time, and feeling deeply connected to the ground beneath. The piece captures that sensation of freedom, where motion becomes a quiet form of awareness.
