Sea foam
Category: Footwear
Competitions: Taiwan Region
My design is inspired by the sea foam created when waves crash against rocks and sand. I incorporate this fleeting yet powerful movement into the shoe’s flowing lines and layered structure. The blue and white color palette symbolizes the depth, purity, and strength of the ocean, while the perforated texture on the upper reflects the traces left by the waves, expressing the vitality of nature. However, the sea foam also reminds me of marine animals trapped in fishing nets, struggling and gradually losing their freedom. The mesh elements on the upper symbolize the damage human activities cause to marine ecosystems. Through this design, I hope to raise awareness of ocean conservation and respect for all life.
