Vision

As a beautiful dancer is dancing in the abyss, covered by darkness, a white silk sheet gently floats towards her, covering her with light and happiness. As she dances, her figure changes and becomes more and more vibrant and graceful. I want to portray the athleticism and fluidity of the ballet dancer, with bold and flexible movements to showcase the light and how the light can change a person and their general perspective of the beauty of a dancer. As well as showcases the feminine view of the dancers while contrasting the darkness. As most stereotypes are told about women, they are mostly seen as weak beings. This photo showcases the power and strength that women have. The stark contrast of the black and white contrasts becomes yin and yang, the dance between life and death, creation and destruction.

I will use different effects and props to showcase the beautiful flows of the ballet dancers. The sheet that is used will be used as a “dress” that will have a rippling effect on the dancer, as well as reflection and water papers to showcase the reflection of the dancer, which will make the dancer seem like she is walking on water and in an abyss full of nothingness.

Statement of Intent

The title that I am using for this set is バレエ, which means ballet in Japanese; I am using this name because the Japanese font is beautiful, and it is one of the prettiest languages in the world. Ballet also symbolizes grace and beauty, which resonates with a lovely language. The person who inspired this set of photos is Richard Calmes; he uses stunning flows of the dress and the elegance of ballet to showcase the athleticism of ballet.
