Then, Fridriks affixes her unique signature through acrylic paint giving an organic dimension to the so-sculpted shoes. Her unseen colorful drippings, as lava flows across rocks, cover each Nike shoe.

In yellow & black dominance, with blue and red shades, all perfectly aligned, as fresh information/news to read, spreading like wildfire so as to be the first. At the speed of light, every color slices through the others, finally leaving a mark, allowing reader thoughts to capture the nature of this new Odyssey.
