“Displaced Soul”

In the corner of my studio lay a lone cotton sock—unmatched, unremarkable. Yet in that absence of its pair, I discovered a parable of identity and loss.

The Object:

A single, ankle-height cotton sock, bleach-washed soft, its elastic slightly relaxed.
A faint chocolate crumb near the toe, subtle pilling along the sole.

Fragmented Identity: Like people stripped of context, a solitary sock retains form but loses function. It becomes an ode to the incomplete self.

“Displaced Soul” is an invitation for the collector to supply the missing half—be it through memory, narrative, or deeper self-exploration—and thus complete the work.
