Overexposure examines villains’ magnetic allure through Nietzsche’s Apollonian (order, reason) and Dionysian (chaos, passion) spirits. Like an overexposed photo—even in shadow—we can always smile and shine.
This footwear embodies villain wears a dignified mask hiding secret ambitions. I embossed suit-like patterns via leather edge-scraping to represent ordered decorum concealing the true self.
At first glance, a sharp-lined derby exudes discipline; its warped sole and subtle upper details, however, betray a hidden mania.
