That's horrible (the bound foot part) Maybe you could have put a BRAND NEW shoe next to the old Chinese one instead of having them both look old, dirty, and worn. Because having them both look the same isn't helping your idea. Otherwise it's a nice concept.

Interesting in an informative way but less so artistically. Perhaps avoid the horizontal centre line with the right hand shoe
