"Blood in the Shoe" comes from the Grimms' version of Cinderella. In the story, the stepsisters have to cut off their toes and parts of their heels in order to fit into the shoe. What seems like a perfect fit and a chance at happiness is filled with pain,

This project explores the idea of love and lust, and how they often come hand-in-hand with pain, emptiness, and confusion. What goes up must always come down and we cannot know one thing without the other.
