An experimental footwear collection that disrupts routine urban rhythms and activates embodied awareness through mechanical and tactile intervention.
Final work
STAGGER
These post-speculative footwear introduce subtle disturbances and unfamiliar sensations into ordinary actions like walking, standing, and sitting. By disrupting the continuity of everyday movements, STAGGER transforms them into acts that are more playful, more challenging, and more rhythmically conscious. These minor interruptions open up perceptual gaps within automated behaviour, gently guiding the wearer to redirect attention to their physical state and reestablish the connection between body and consciousness in daily life.

STAGGER AWAKING
This experimental short film follows the STAGGER footwear series. It traces a journey of the body slowly waking from numbness.
The film begins with the rhythm of London — flickering traffic lights, the roar of underground trains, the overlapping footsteps of crowds. The city operates like code, precise and unrelenting. Within this pattern, the protagonist walks. Each pair of mechanically structured shoes disrupts his movement. His steps falter, his body hesitates, and gradually begins to shift and awaken. Each step, each imbalance, becomes a chance to rediscover the ground. In the space between concrete and steel, his movements loosen. He no longer walks to match the system, but begins to move with his own rhythm.
In the end, he takes off the shoes and stands barefoot. The noise fades. Only breath and footsteps remain.
