In this bold sculptural assemblage, Jeremy Hiah reimagines the everyday heroine through the lens of domestic objects—spatulas, tart tins, and other cookware—transformed into the armor of a superwoman. The figure stands tall and commanding, crafted from tools often associated with care, routine, and unseen labor. By elevating these utilitarian items into symbols of strength, Jeremy challenges traditional notions of power and femininity. This superwoman is both protector and provider—a quiet yet powerful tribute to resilience, resourcefulness, and the unseen forces that hold everyday life together. It is an ode to the strength found in the ordinary.
