Souls
World War Two. Budapest, Hungary.
Stepping into the shoes of those who walked, hid, laughed, cried and did their utmost to survive in a time of despair and fear. But, if just a glimmer, amongst rubble, gunfire and torture there is hope.
Souls is inspired by ‘Shoes on the Danube’, a memorial to the Jews who were killed on the Danube Bank during World War Two. Being asked to remove their shoes, they were then forced to stand facing the river before falling to their deaths. This piece aims to bring those souls back to life for a moment and to tell untold stories that we could learn so much from today.
