I was intrigued by iconic design of the Jordans 45 High sneaker and by the excess of elements decorating the shoe. I often play with the viewers’ perception in my artwork, so I decided to abstractify the sneaker to a degree by applying bright, contrasting colours to different areas.

The idea was to turn the sneaker into an assemblage of “independent” shapes. I released it as an art print. The next step was to dissect the sneaker according to these individual shapes. I made a few prototypes using 3D printing and eventually used it to create the moulds.

It’s a limited edition of 30 puzzles. Each is made of 19 handmade resin pieces and are available on my online shop.
