The artwork features a sculptural piece composed of terracotta bricks arranged in a unique and visually striking manner. The colors range from warm, earthy tones to darker shades, creating a textural and rugged aesthetic. The overall shape resembles the form of a shoe or boot, with distinct ridges and patterns that suggest a sense of movement and erosion.

Deborah Schamoni is a contemporary art gallery based in Munich, Germany.
Situated in a 1970s villa, the gallery is able to offer its artists a spacious white cube, flooded with daylight and opening up to a greened outdoor area, as well as an independent smaller room.
Since its founding in 2013, the gallery has focused on showing and supporting emerging international artists and it presents an exceptional program that unites international positions with a subversive and self-reflexive approach to art making considering the complexity of human coexistence.
