Aberrations

Dancers are pressured to be perfect and even their movements are dictated down to an eight count. In this series, I wanted to explore the juxtaposition of beauty and imperfection by capturing the moments between effort and execution. I include images of chaotic missteps and peak performance to illustrate that passion and dedication should be revered above all else. While a mistake such as a bent knee or imperfect hand placement is regarded as failure, the movements, whether perfectly performed or not, are an act of expression and artistry.
