Product Details
The inspiration behind my design comes from several things. The first being my love for fine art. I am not normally a shoe customizer, I am normally drawing or painting on canvas (shout-out CANVVS). Since I am studying fine art, I am often shown references to master paintings. These paintings frequently reveal to me how I can level up my craft and skills. After the past year and a half at Atelier Dojo, the lens through which I see art has completely changed. For this competition, I wanted to relate to anyone who would be viewing the shoe.
The way that I knew how to do that was by incorporating a master painting that would be immediately identifiable to anyone viewing. I chose to use Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" for my inspiration. Originally, I was going to combine it with Van Gogh's "The Starry Night". However, I saw on social media that route was being taken. As a result, I covered my blue shoe as a true rookie would attempt days into the competition, and reorganized my idea into making "The Creation of Adam" my only painting focus. This worked to my benefit because while my original design looked good digitally, things were definitely competing for attention on the shoe. Also, I got to reflect on my love for The Creation of Adam painting. As a Christian, this painting has really spoken to me. In the original, the fingers are almost touching. God's finger is pointed toward Adam, but Adam's isn't quite there yet. Showing that God is always extending that invitation, willing to meet us where we are, and it's up to us to meet Him.
The way that I changed the original into "The Creation of the Game" was mimicking a basketball pass. The left hand naturally appears like a ball-release, and the other hand catches the ball. At Church of Whitestone in Austin, TX, we often talk about our "Why". What is our why for being here? This is something each of us have been asked to reflect on. And for me, it is to create back to the Creator. To put it simply, to pass the ball back with the gifts I have been given. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to create back!
