Socialized Shoes
Handmade mixed-media magnets, 2019
​
​
Primarily an experimental material study, these magnets examine the relationship between Qatari culture and gift shop souvenirs. Based on the observations of an expatriate resident at a Qatari mall, the shoes include an men's leather sandal, a women's designer heel, and a nanny's treaded clog.
