SHOES

A little girl and a little boy, in a public park, are wearing completely different clothes. She’s elegant, aloof, while he is messy, dirty, cheerful. Among chirping birds and an atmosphere, almost heavenly, the wish to be something else, the desire, causes a twisting of roles. The child, all of a sudden, sees his dream come true, but not everything that glitters is gold. Shoes, is a snapshot of a society more and more visible and superficial, often confused with reality. We measure ourselves what we see, forgetting that outer beauty can hide insecurities and fragilities. The image we project becomes an illusion, distancing us from the true essence of who we are. The constant need to appear creates a gap, between our being and a world, where nothing is ever enough, yet where the improbable and the unthinkable can happen.
