Captured in Cotacachi, Ecuador, on May 18, 2024, this image presents a monumental representation of local artisan history. Cotacachi is globally renowned for its high-quality leather craftsmanship, a heritage celebrated through this witty and oversized public sculpture. The structure—a giant, elegantly curved high-heeled shoe—is fabricated from the very material the town is famous for, set deliberately on a rustic wooden stand against a backdrop of local street life and greenery. The composition uses the sculpture's dramatic scale and unexpected context to pay homage to the enduring skill and charm of the city's leatherworkers.
