I was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s Shoes, 1886, as it symbolised his emotions expressed at the time. His painting is melancholy and I was inspired to express my journeys travelled in the metaphor of bold-red Converse shoes. Representing my character, these shoes symbolise how I walk through life’s struggles with a contented personality.
