"Modus Aberrandi" refers to a method or approach that breaks away from the expected or customary course of action. This project explores 3D printed footwear as a Modus Aberrandi, aiming to challenge conventional approaches to shoemaking and embrace innovative manufacturing techniques. With new workflows and tools like Gravity Sketch and 3D printing, the modus operandi (Latin: a particular way or method of doing something)of traditional footwear manufacturing may soon undergo a mass shift in procedures.

This project explores 3D-printed footwear as a canvas, juxtaposing traditional shoes and the remnants of Ozymandias to symbolize human ambition. The shoe, a tool of control over nature, enables us to shape our surroundings. Concurrently, Ozymandias' ruins highlight the transient nature of our power quest. 3D printed footwear, with its precision and adaptability, reflects our ongoing innovation and positive strides in harmonizing with the environment through technology.
