Timeless Devotion

     For my senior thesis, I chose to reflect on my past with ballet, discover new avenues to incorporate it back into my life, and honor a craft that has shaped who I am today.  With a desire to weave the profound influence of my ballet journey into my art, I capture the grace, discipline, and emotional depth that ballet has ingrained in me. Ballet has always been more than just movement; it is a language of expression, a way to communicate feelings that words simply cannot convey. I aspire to translate the fluidity of a dancer’s form, the rhythm of motion, and the intense emotion of performance into my art. Each piece is a reflection of the years spent perfecting a craft that marries strength with delicacy and precision with passion. 

By merging the essence of ballet with my artistic vision, I have created works that resonate with the same beauty, emotion, and storytelling that dance has always inspired in me. This integration allows me to honor my past while creating a new, expressive language that speaks to both the dancer and the artist within me.
