"Life is an experimental continuity, eventhough it is composed of broken wholes, deep hallows and paradoxicalemotions". Nilay takes details from the world of classical footwear andquestions them. Even though those classical details are re-invented andpresented in a new way, one can still feel familiar emotions whenlooking at the footwear.

Finding a new type ofcontinuity. Being part of an experiencewhich is still continuous.Taking a piece of history ,keeping it and breaking it into pieces again. A piece of history that containsa lot of collective memories in ourminds. Which sounds very continuous still....... But always pregnant to have anew experience by new people existing in the world. Take one picture into yourhand. Look at it. Follow each part by your eyes. Close everything but leavejust one detail. One continues detail. Change it. Than look at your pictureagain. Now it is an experimental piece of your continuity. Classics are alwaysthe biggest continuity ever in life. Play the classics. Create new classics. Ordon’t call them classics anymore. Call them experimental continuity. Look atyour memories. Take a look at your new picture. Be reflected by classics &reflect it to your moment now. Do play with the material you have in your mind,surprise yourself. Be ready to surprise emotions & experiments.
Although we think that we arereading with our eyes most of the times we read by our mind. Our mind full ofeverything. We have lots of references to direct our reading process. Memories,images, movies, music, rules, connections, family, friends, experiences, lifewith everything. That’s why we don’t read total sentence. it’s the same withthe things we look. sometimes we don’t look because we already know what it is.Our mind completes broken pieces. But ifwe surprise our mind with breaking most trustful continuous parts & things ? And still have them“one” . Surprise your mind map with the game of broken continuity.
Whenever our expectation level has a unexpected concern mismatch in it,Whenever our already accepted truth becomes a lie,Whenever somebody says yellow to blue, our paradoxical emotions gettriggered and effect all our body with high surprise emotion. Again the same truth is “continuous” in this part.The biggest shake occurs with the “change” of mostly accepted forms, thoughtetc. But this time in a very Witty way. Also brave to think like a mad man. Thinkfrom the end to beginning.
During all the perfect continuous continuity that we have in general,sometimes things are not goes as well as they always do. Or for some of uscontinuity is having hollows all the time. Sometimes the surface gets dots,hollows. Total picture gets deformed. destroyed. Like depression, addiction, breakingups, sickness, getting old. Or any small mind crisis we have. They all put afull stop and dig a hollow to our continuity. But the beautiful part of thisdeep hallows is that, although they make a distortions to the flow, they add beautifulness to the picture ingeneral. A different taste, a special curiosity.
