Concetta Gurzeni, Tiny Dancers On Ice - On Pointe (ART & CONCEPTUAL 2026)

Tiny dancers is part of a series created using Dandelion seeds to represent ballerinas on a stage based on some of the specific steps of the fundamental movements of French ballet. Representing strength, resilience, determination and the ability to overcome adversity. Symbolizing hope, growth and healing with the ability to manifest our own desires. Using long exposures and low light, sometimes a painting with light technique with small torches and foil to create bokeh in most of the tiny dancer images to create and highlight depth, contrast, shadows and hopefully to engage with the emotions these images evoke. On Pointe in this image represents ballerinas rising to the tips of their toes with the weight balanced on the toe box of a pointe shoe.
