"The Poetry of Movement" is a series of black-and-white photographs that explore the struggle between light and shadow through the graceful motions of a ballerina. Inspired by the character of Odette from Swan Lake, the photos symbolize a journey from innocence to inner conflict, portraying the tension between freedom and a lingering curse. The interplay of light and shadow, the flowing costume, and expressive poses evoke a sense of both ephemerality and timelessness. This visual metaphor captures beauty, resilience, and hope rising above tragedy.
