idea: to get a brand new pair of sandals in the beginning of the spring/summer- photograph them on a plain repeatable background- wear them all the time, everywhere, and photograph them daily/weekly whatever is necessary to show the process that one goes through in wearing in sandals- at first sandals are puffy, impersonal, plain. slowly toes and the balls of my feet start to make their own grooves in the sole (soul). more and more, the grooves go deeper, the sandals become more specific to me and my foot and my toes. slowly they wear in, maybe too much. the fabric may begin to wear, slowly tear. the sandal eventually falls apart (rain, weather help process along.
concept: makign something mine, personalization, individualization, uniqueness, getting used to something, getting comfortable, wearing it, but what does it mean that this all leads to the destruction of the object and starting again?
