Title:	Our First Steps Sparkled
Description:	Our First Steps Sparkled is a trompe l'oeil kid’s light-up shoe meant to capture the simple joys of young children. To achieve a “fool the eye” look, my piece is made to scale, with every detail, down to the sole, carefully considered. A self-made circuit lights up the piece. As we grow up, much of life becomes more centered around perfection; yet, the signature colors, chunky shape, sparkles, and misplaced shoe strap carry their own sort of perfection. Through the bold innocence of this piece, I aim to show how, rather than trying to reach perfection, each step of childhood is guided by wonder and curiosity that is perfect in and of itself.
