'Field' is an eco art piece that symbolizes the connection between material consumption and the nature. Dominic used 500 eco-friendly Terra Plana shoes for the installation, lacing them up with green, growing shoelaces like budding plants in a field. In this piece, Terra Plana shoes represent the Earth, and the green shoelaces represent the plants that grow on Earth.
