Using dress shoes—a symbol of a mature society—as a medium, the work infuses courage through a transformed structure. The mecha that emerges when the shoes are put on represents the hero in a young boy’s imagination. When facing the fears of growing up, these shoes transform into empowering armor, offering a sense of protection and emotional support. They allow me to evolve from a child afraid of taking responsibility into a courageous mecha hero—a mature adult capable of facing any challenge.
