Object...Plug

Feminism/Feminist Power
1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and other rights of women equal to those of men.
2. an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.
3. feminine character.

Its comes as no surprise that Rist is a feminine character, she holds herself against her femininity, and the female form. She uses her sexuality as her power, maybe as her driving force. This then became my connection...Power.

Plug
There are many meanings for the word 'Plug' itself, after looking through plenty of them i decided to go with the most familiar. The household three pin plug. The plug holds the majority of the power supplied to our every day lives. A switch board which may contain many plugs is still powered by one plug. If this plug is removed then all power is lost. I decided to turn this into metaphor. For example, if the Queen is removed from Monarchy, the monarchy will fall (doubtful i know). If the heart is removed from man, then man will not be able to function. This then led me to my final idea... If a puppet loses its master, then the puppet is powerless.
