Put A Sock In It is a glass shoe sculpture symbolising women’s journey and societal pressures to stay silent. Made from delicate yet resilient glass, it represents movement, life, and the struggle to find and reclaim one’s voice. The piece encourages reflection on women’s stories, strength, empowerment, and breaking silence.
