Implicating references from the sociological thematic.

Detection of a whole series of circumstances, via shoes.
The way they are set and speak about their moods.

Communication with the animate ones using the inanimate ones in between the human relations they imply.

Connection between the ephemeral in life and the ephemeral of the “useless” material used.

“If I did not put my nose in the rubbish, I would not have known they exist, they are valuable, they have been mine; that I can use them as a gage, from time to time, to buy over my existence”.

And the word “no comments”
