About

This animated stop-motion video features a sequence where separate square paper tiles slide and rearrange to form a complete image of a cream-colored leather boot with a brown block heel resting on a narrow wooden shelf. The illustration style utilizes textured paper backgrounds and tactile collage elements, with each tile shifting across an off-white plane. The warm, neutral color palette emphasizes the textures of the leather and cardboard. Created by illustrator Martin Cole in Paris, the piece combines graphic design sensibilities with traditional paper art techniques.
