Power in Her Steps
"This mixed-media collage celebrates the strength, complexity, and boldness of feminine identity. Constructed from repurposed magazine clippings, each heel tells a layered story—of love, ambition, resilience, and self-expression. The contrasting fragments—words like ""POWER,"" ""LOVE,"" and ""SOON""—reflect how women walk through life carrying both visible and invisible narratives. The use of red, black, and white symbolizes passion, structure, and clarity, while the embedded eyes and faces hint at the ever-watchful gaze of society. Through this piece, I explore how style becomes armor and movement becomes a message."
