This shoe translates the presence and potential of an octopus into a sculptural wearable object. Its enveloping form suggests a body in readiness, anticipating change rather than fully undergoing it. The design marks the beginning of a larger exploration of metamorphosis. It captures a state of becoming, reflecting the idea that octopuses are never fixed but continuously in transition. This is echoed in their ability to adapt through RNA editing, enabling constant variation and responsiveness. The piece proposes footwear not as a static object, but as an expression of ongoing change.
