Socks, 2013
Socks is an inventive self-portrait discussing my recently admited fetish of socks—specifically socks of knee length or longer on the legs of women. It consists of many dypticts accompanied by text comparing both socks on the legs of a wearer, therfore inciting my fetish, and contrastly the socks themselves whereas the become just laundry and are no longer a fetish object for me.
For me and thousands of kinksters:
