This large-scale shoe installation has more to do with the viewer's thoughts. Each shoe is tied with the owner's message. There are shoes that wore during the wedding, and those belong to the husband who passed away. There are quite a lot of relics. One pair of shoes are a wheelchair person who bought the shoes in order to stand up again despite he could not walk anymore, so he sent the shoes that he could not use. Chiharu connected all the feeling or all memory of shoes with red line to show her miss for homeland since her didn’t back to Japan for 3 years at that time (Washington Post, 2014).
