I was inspired by the phoenix, a mythical creature from the Greek and Chinese mythology. The Greeks believed that the animal was able to reborn from its own ashes. I visualized myself a burning bird elegantly flying out of a shoe. The type of bird wasn't important to me. It was more the idea that I was interested in. That's why I choose to use an eagle. The idea behind this work symbolizes the birth of a new Nike shoe. #eagle #bird #phoenix #fire #burn #feather #shoe #nike
