Artwork Concept
Every woman dreams of owning a beautiful pair of high heels, just as every woman desires beauty. However, beauty comes at a price—high heels are "instruments of beauty and torture."
Thus, I create high heels using soft and comfortable materials, challenging the conventional notion of pain for beauty. Beauty is not only costly but also fleeting and impermanent.
