GONDOLA

Strolling along the quay demands specific footwear. Velvet slippers compel us to walk slowly, allowing us to fully absorb our surroundings. Matching the pace of Venetian gondoliers, we navigate the city with measured steps. Shoes root us to the earth, yet also create a barrier between us and the ground. Like a child watching their distant parents float on the water, unable to reach them, we find ourselves both connected and separated from the world around us.
