“TRY WALKING IN MY SHOES”

32.0 x 33.0 cm

"Try Walking in My Shoes," inspired by the title of the Depeche Mode song of the same name, represents a profound expression of a father's feelings toward his son. It reflects the difficult moments in their relationship, marked by external influences and complex life circumstances, often impossible to explain in words. The work conveys a father's anguish at his son's questioning of past decisions. However, only by walking the same path—experiencing firsthand the challenges, dilemmas, and pressures of life—can one truly understand the reasons behind those actions. Only then can those choices, which at the time seemed incomprehensible, be explained and fully understood. This piece invites intergenerational empathy, reminding us that true understanding arises not from explanations, but from shared experience.
