I loved this project so much. I even bought a silicone foot for it (best purchase of my life). It all started with brainstorming the theme of the show. I started my campaign on the Foot theme, and to my surprise found supporters everywhere. The idea became radicalized. Everyone around me began pushing feet, suggesting this art show be focused around feet and Kanye West. There were no wrong answers. Until there were. Suddenly feet were no longer unifying, they became a polarizing topic that we were on the wrong side of. My efforts, no, our efforts were bitterly scoffed at, cast aside, and relinquished. Never in my life had I felt smaller and more useless than in that moment. I had to build myself back from the ground up. Sitting in my defeat, I began to find enlightenment. When they tell you no to send feet, they're supporting an authoritarian regime that keeps woke people silent. The system was working against me. I reintroduced myself to the political scene, advocating for the normalization of the sexualization of the foot. Who are we trying to impress, if not those with the sweetest feet? I always found myself preaching to an awkwardly silent crowd. They knew not what to say, for even though they may agree with me, the looming threat of failure in the eyes of society and the law was too painful to endure. So I nobly decided to be a talisman for the people. I would make this show about feet and Kanye, whether they associated with it or not because I knew, deep down, this is what the people would love. And they did.
