遺 ‧ 影 Traces that Remain

「光會走，但痕跡會留下。」 “The light may fade, but the traces remain.” When everything fades, light may disappear—but traces remain. Lives, voices, and moments that are no longer here still leave their marks—through the texture of leather and the play of light and shadow. It is not the brightness of light that draws attention, but the quiet marks it leaves—touched by time, forgotten yet still present. These shoes become a kind of skin that holds memory, making wearers silent storytellers. Each step remembers, and each shadow becomes a part of the story—left behind by others, held gently by me. These traces are not only from animals or the environment, but also from lost dreams, childhood feelings, and moments of hope. As time passes, we often lose the unseen parts of ourselves.But even these invisible memories are worth keeping. In every faded step and soft memory is proof that something once lived—and a reason to hold on. Through these traces, the act of protecting and remembering continues, so that what was once beautiful is never truly lost.
