You've probably heard about the recent terrible earthquake that struck the Abruzzo region on 6 April 2009, Italy. Well, the ANCI (the Italian National Footwear Manufacturers Association) organized the ANCI Creative Award – Emerging Art Edition and invited 30 artists to create 30 artworks that highlight and consolidate the worldwide image of the uniqueness of Italian-made footwear through a creative interpretation of the values embodied by shoes produced in Italy.
I tried to represent the evolution of the shoe from the past to the present and the future, showing the shoe as a symbol of movement, fashion and innovation.
All 30 works will be auctioned off. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Italian Red Cross's Abruzzo Emergency fund to help the families affected by the earthquake.
