Description

Crafted in delicate white porcelain, this sculptural high heel merges fragility with dominance, elegance with provocation. The pristine shoe—an enduring symbol of femininity, glamour, and performance—is disrupted by a gleaming gold phallus that functions as the heel, transforming an object associated with beauty and desirability into a commentary on power and control. The contrast between the purity of the porcelain and the opulence of gold heightens the tension between vulnerability and authority, exposing the ways patriarchal structures underpin ideals of femininity. Simultaneously seductive and unsettling, the work interrogates the commodification of the female body and the persistent influence of male desire within fashion, culture, and representation. Through humour, discomfort, and visual excess, the sculpture
challenges viewers to reconsider the dynamics of objectification and the uneasy balance between empowerment and subjugation.
