This 3D model was created with photogrammetry software called Metashape by Leah Buchholz. The shoes in the model are black running shoes from Oysho in size 38 and are approximately five years old. At first glance, these shoes may appear worthless, but they're clearly worn out and dirty. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, they became an essential item for their owner due to strict government regulations that shut down gyms and sports facilities. People were forced to find alternative ways to stay active while still following the rules, so running and walking became a popular option. For their owner, these shoes symbolize freedom and self-reliance. They also serve as a reminder of how important it is to take care of one's physical and mental health during difficult times.
