Pinned Shoes

Polish artist Erwina Ziomkowska has transformed a pair of old shoes by hammering four and a half pounds
of metal pins into them, visually communicating the pain women sometimes put themselves through to fit societal definitions of beauty. The heads of the pins give the surface a reflective quality and texture, however
on the inside, the repetition of sharp points render the shoes unwearable.

  1. Wowch! Those look kind of cute, and definitely painful. I'll stick to my Alegria clogs, thank you.

  2. I wonder what my foot doctor will have to say about this.
