BIGWOOD, an XXL sneaker made entirely of bark by Monsieur Plant!

Mr. Plant has no limits when it comes to sneakers and making nature triumph! The proof is in this brand new work that he presents to us, called Bigwood.
This XXL sneaker, made entirely of bark, is parachuted into the heart of Brittany for a photo shoot. In an omnipresent nature, the work fits into a rural landscape.

« Where we are rather accustomed to the effervescence of new products that are always more trendy than the others or to the degradation of what surrounds us, I send a message through the poetry of my work. I play with the opposition and use the symbol of the sneaker, giving it a natural and ethical touch, as if to say that nature will always triumph over man and his modes of consumption. »
