BRUNO KONGAWOIN, Klara - The Tango Dancer (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2025)

"The Tango Dancer" is a portrait suspended between motion and stillness. An ode to the quiet poise that follows passion. Captured at rest on the floor, the tall, elegant dancer holds the remnants of a tango’s intensity in her posture, graceful, composed, and fiercely self-possessed. There’s a stylish tension in the way her limbs rest, as if the dance still lingers in her muscles, waiting to be reignited. The lighting is sculptural, casting soft highlights that trace the streamlined contours of her frame with precision. Each shadow falls like choreography across the floor, emphasising the power and elegance woven into stillness. With the slow process of a view camera, this is not a moment of pause, but a deliberate statement of presence, where grace does not vanish with movement, but remains, resting, in quiet command.
