Description

This sculptural white spiked high heel transforms the language of fashion into a powerful commentary on femininity, identity, and resistance. Balancing precariously on the shoe is an exaggerated clitoral form intertwined with a female face, merging sexuality, individuality, and visibility into a single confrontational structure. The fragmented features suggest both vulnerability and defiance, reclaiming parts of the female body that have historically been hidden, controlled, or objectified.
The surface is adorned with decals of women, layering the sculpture with collective presence and shared experience. These repeated female images create a chorus of identities across the ceramic form, challenging singular or idealised representations of womanhood. Sharp spikes erupt from the pristine white shoe like armour, disrupting the elegance traditionally associated with the stiletto and introducing themes of protection, tension, and resilience.
Through exaggeration, humour, and surreal symbolism, the work critiques the performance of femininity while celebrating female autonomy, visibility, and embodied power.
