Original artwork description:

In creating “The Dancer Picking Up Dreams,” I sought to capture the quiet, intimate moment behind the performance — when a dancer bends down to pick up her shoes. This act, simple yet profound, represents her dedication to her craft and the humility that lives beneath the spotlight. The cool tones of blue and gray suggest solitude and serenity, while the soft light from above defines her form and the flowing texture of her white skirt. Through this contrast of light and shadow, I wanted to express both strength and vulnerability.
Technically, I used a blend of impasto and scraping techniques to enhance texture and light interaction. Visible brushstrokes preserve the sense of motion and breath, allowing the viewer to feel as though the dancer herself inhabits the canvas — suspended between effort and grace.
