If we wore our personalities on our feet, you could probably make a good character judgement about the woman in these Ice Queen shoes. The abstracted high heels feature a primary point for elevated support at the back, as well as a cluster of many smaller stalactites that surround it.
Made in a wintery white hue, the Shoe Sculpture No. 5 is intended to represent a girl we'll call Sophie. This fabulous but perhaps frigid lady was apparently not all that responsive to intimacy. Her lover, Sebastian Errazuriz, created this as one of a dozen intriguing pieces of footwear within his 12 Shoes for 12 Lovers series. The Ice Queen shoes are certainly works of art, yet they'd be quite stunning if they were to actually be worn.
