“Paris, I love you” is a symbolic and politically engaged painting, achieved less than one month before the march of the women of January 21st, 2017, to fight for our right, our freedom, against the misogynous hatred, against the discriminatory and racist behaviors.
Sandals, sneakers, pumps, low flats or high heels, shoes mirror the persons wearing them. Colorful and decorated with the Eiffel Tower, these belong to free spirit people who want to remain free.
While the Iron Lady was much criticized during the World Fair in 1889, even considered at times as monstrous, it later became nevertheless a symbol of power, of modernity from 1920 and now a symbol of resilience and resistance since the terrorist attacks.
Painting those Eiffel Tower adorned shoes is a way to restore power in women and send the message to our sisters all over the World that our lives do matter.
