I am drawn to this piece because I can relate to it. I used to do ballet; it was my life. This piece illustrates both the pain dancers have to go through in order to succeed as well as the satisfaction from their success. I love the use of colors and shade; they make the dancer look mysterious. Every curve on her body both hides and reveals the reality of dance. On one hand, she looks feminine and fragile. On the other hand, I know how strong one needs to be both physically and mentally to be a professional dancer.
