Conceptually, ballet shoes are related to dance, with the beauty of ballet and its graceful movements, but behind the spectacularity of a performance there are many years of work on the physical body of the dancers, with numerous injuries and psychological pressure. The iron discipline, effort and injuries are for the dancer like a forge that here has been conceptualized in the form of nails. These elements that can help us given the occasion, can also become an aggressive resource.

Materially, the sneakers are a soft element on the upper part, but rigid on the sole. If we establish a conceptual parallel, the sole is the dancer's body and the nails are the training, discipline from a very early age and injuries. In terms of texture, the softness of the outer satin and the inner cotton evoke the delicacy and warmth of ballet movements; The leather of the sole alludes to the physical body that contrasts with the hardness, coldness and certain malleability of the nails. The body needs a toughness greater than its own to be crossed as the human being undergoes discipline to bend his body. This transformation falls within what Rosalind Krauss could qualify as modern sculpture as there is a transcendence of the materiality of the object towards another context. The sneakers have been decontextualized and contain a new subjective positioning that obeys a search for other interior places, which also entails a redefinition of the exterior space. They have become a surreal element that can no longer contain any soft matter without tearing it apart. What had been created for the containment and protection of the feet has become something that takes us away from the superficial vision of the beauty of dance and brings us closer to a deeper vision of it.
