About the Artwork

Big Boots presents a psychologically charged scene where memory, myth, and subconscious imagery converge. A pair of ill-fitting boots - seemingly aflame - evoke the phrase “big boots to fill,” symbolising transformation, expectation, and dissonance. A clock, frozen yet foreboding, suggests time slipping away, lending the image a quiet, surreal urgency. Drawing from childhood environments and footwear as symbolic markers of identity, I construct a suspended narrative just beyond the visible frame. My work resists binary interpretation, operating in a liminal space where humour and unease coexist, and where the fantastical brushes up against the intimate logic of personal mythology.
