A truly spectacular image, Mo -- one of the most expressive photographs you have made to date, The frame is filed with empty shoes and festive ribbons, souvenirs based on obsolete national icons -- windmills and wooden shoes. You make it incongruous by the sheer numbers involved. The empty shoes seem to almost be moving in a soundless dance -- it is almost a dance of the dead. The more I look at this image, the more compelling it becomes.
