Flower He Is

Scroll →

In this project I am using flowers as a metaphor for the male dancer, evoking questions about youth, decay, fragility and innocence. When a dancer turns from a boy into a man, he is in the peak of his physical ability. Like a flower in full bloom that will soon wilt, this point in a dancer's life is both beautiful and tragic.
