The original mould was a Mexican crocodile leather boot that I wore for a few years from the age of 18. The modified boot expresses how I felt at the time.

I moved house regularly and with each move I was confronted with a box of love letters that I could no longer do anything with. Past relationships and love, I could still feel them when going through the letters.
