PATIENT/OBJECT.02
STORY — WHYA monochrome boot designed as a wearable scan.You’re seeing someone deeply — without knowing them.X-rays reveal the human body from a perspective the naked eye will never access. They remove identity, surface, and performance, leaving only structure. This project takes that hidden truth and refuses to keep it invisible. What is normally diagnostic becomes declarative. The body is no longer beneath the product — it is fused into it.
DESCRIPTION — WHAT YOU’RE SEEINGThe first image is an X-ray scan of the human boot — a medical view translated into material. That scan is printed directly onto the boot’s surface, aligning anatomy to form with surgical precision.The skeletal structure of the foot is fully exposed: phalanges, metatarsals, calcaneus, arch. The image continues upward, revealing the tibia and fibula, extending the scan beyond the foot into the lower leg — a complete anatomical read, embedded into a monochrome shell.The boot becomes an interface between body and object. Cold, high-contrast imaging collides with industrial footwear. Clinical data becomes aesthetic. Protection becomes transparency.The result feels illicit and futuristic — medical imaging weaponized into fashion. A post-human artifact where the body is not hidden, but permanently mapped.
