Description

Glossed in black and perched atop a phallic gold-tipped heel, Tip of the Power struts unapologetically into the uncomfortable terrain where sexuality, dominance, and spectacle converge. The piece transforms the high heel—a historic symbol of femininity and submission—into a weaponized object supported, quite literally, by a gilded emblem of male power. 

The gold tip adds a layer of allure and absurdity, suggesting how patriarchy dresses control in prestige and desire. Is the shoe standing tall, or being propped up? Tip of the Power critiques how women are expected to navigate systems built on male-centered values, often forced to embody ideals they did not author, while carrying the burden of keeping it all seductive. 

This is not simply fashion—it’s function, fetish, and farce.
