"I don’t think people realize how much work goes into creating, and executing, a functional shoe design.
Taking creative risks every day improved the way I function as a Quest student, both academically and socially. What we put on our feet can inform the way we feel."
- Emily Weber '20

"These shoes aim to showcase a beauty which is everywhere around us in nature, but is often concealed or transformed beyond recognition in the things we humans create.
The wood is cedar from the clear-cut land adjacent to Quest, which I hope can help remind people that the materials we use actually come from specific locations."
- Graeme Lee Rowlands '19

"The shoes I created are unwearable. In lieu of functionality, they represent important issues that I struggle with on a day-to-day basis.
The construction of the shoes, from the initial idea to the final nail hammered into the wood sole, was a raw experience. It required literal blood, sweat and tears, but all three aspects came together to create an intensely personal and vulnerable final piece."
- JJ Fijal '20

“What really excites me about having a Question rather than a major is that you’re not restricted in terms of fusing two totally opposite disciplines together.”
