Description

This striking pair of white ceramic high heels, adorned with sharp spikes and supported by fragmented female torsos as heels, confronts the duality of beauty and violence. The pristine white glaze evokes ideals of purity and perfection, while the spikes disrupt that illusion—transforming the shoes into instruments of both allure and aggression. The female torso, stripped of head and limbs, becomes a literal support structure: a commentary on how women’s bodies are often used to uphold systems of power, aesthetics, and desire. By merging fashion with fragmentation, the work exposes the pain masked by glamour and the cost of being seen but not heard. “Sharp Edges, Soft Targets” is both a critique and a reclaiming—turning objects of objectification into symbols of resistance and strength.
