This collection explores the notion of the illusion of power within the world of strip clubs. Drawing on personal experience and theoretical research into the representation of women in sex work, the project examines the contradictions between the image of female dominance and the social, economic, and symbolic realities that underpin it. Inspired by Victorian burlesque, the collection employs satire, exaggeration, and caricature to question the mechanisms of power and the sexualization of the female body.
