Description

This sculptural high heel fuses glamour with aggression, transforming a symbol of femininity into a charged exploration of power, sexuality, and performance. Supported by a phallic heel, the shoe becomes an unstable monument to desire and dominance, exposing the patriarchal structures often hidden beneath ideals of beauty and seduction. Jagged yellow spikes line the edges of the form like warning signals, disrupting the elegance of the stiletto with a sense of danger and defence.
Splashes of vibrant yellow glaze spread across the ceramic surface with an energetic intensity, evoking caution markings, emotional volatility, or flashes of resistance. The monochromatic palette amplifies the theatricality of the piece while highlighting the tension between attraction and threat. Through exaggeration, humour, and surreal symbolism, the work critiques the commodification of femininity and questions the relationship between sexuality, control, and visibility within contemporary culture.
