Exploring the question of love and sex through the memory of previous relationships, one artist has immortalized 12 former lovers in uniquely-designed shoes.
New York-based Chilean designer Sebastian Errazuriz reveals a glimpse of each relationship through his wearable Shoe Sculptures, which are accompanied by personal photos and stories.
From the frosty ‘Ice Queen’ Sophie to the sweet ‘Honey’ Natasha and ‘The Boss’ Rachel, the 28-year-old recreates those past relationships — some meaningful, and some fleeting flings.
‘When I started this process I never imagined where it would end up, it’s been infinitely more complex, revealing and difficult than I thought,’ Mr Errazuriz explains on his blog, 12 Shoes for 12 Lovers.
The 12-part series is a documentation of love, relationships, and personal vulnerability, where he leaves the shoe — and story — of his great love until last.
Resembling something from an Alexander McQueen collection, shoe number 12 is ‘The Rock’ Alice.
‘She knew we would be together long before I ever did,’ Mr Errazuriz writes. ‘She also knew we would eventually break although I always wanted to believe otherwise.
