The law that lies
The image that inspired me the most is a photograph by Henry Leutwyler Ballerina stands on toe; the right leg is in toe shoes, which is very picturesque, but the left leg is bare, damaged and bloody, somewhat uncanny The research process developed from this image I felt that everything somehow connected to this within the ballet of the world Ballet tights are incredibly subtle and seem delicate, but are much stronger than ordinary nylon tights Ballerinas seem light, lively and soft, but in fact they possess great power, strength and discipline The ballet world can be quite cruel and ugly inside, but over it are laid songs to hide the cruelty and create beauty From there, the idea of working with layers of different materials sprung together and then cut them open, so the innermost cruel song became apparent.
