Heresy, 2022 puts the figure of the night time social worker into focus, displaying pairs of transparent high heels arranged in various dance foot formations as symbolic stand-ins. Drawing from the impossibility of putting yourself in someone else's shoes, the Cinderella trope is reified to illuminate the struggles of street-working women who perform invisible acts of intimate labor in order to survive. Each pair of shoes is accompanied by a "Miss [X] " title, echoing the pageantry of strolling, followed by a quote from an author like Zora Neale Hurston, a pop cultural citation like Pretty Woman or a reference to the ballroom scene where the complexities of being Black, feminine and trans are honored and celebrated.
