My concept:

Vesatility in uniformity.

I want uniformed sizes of glass cases for each shoe.
Both existing as an individual design but also the possibility of a collective whole.
In each case, a symbolic display. A shoe in different functional settings:

A plate and a shoe in a glass case.

Simple. Surreal? Limitless possibilities for a shoe. For a framework of display.

As a collective.
Uniformed individual cases of a same design put side by side:
A pole with shoe hanging heel faced out. 3 cases side by side.
Existing both as individual and as collective.

Why don't i put all three shoes into one long glass cases?

I do not want to enforce a relationship on all three shoes by putting a single boundary on all three.
They will be forever viewed as a collective. Its individualism lost.
Just like needing the audience to envisage the association of a plate and a shoe.
The relationship of three identical cases can only be inferred by its proximity.
And not enforced by a single case boundary.

I would have parts exisiting as a singular individual.
I would have parts making a whole.
But i would not have a whole without parts.

That is why it is necessary for individual shoes to be in their individual cases.
And yet exist a possibility of them coming together to form a whole.
A whole with its parts clearly defined.

I want possibilities. Open ends. Vesatility.
Not a finality.
