"The Ballet Class"

The everlasting internal conflict between

artistry and nature,

highly formalized tradition facing endless

antagonizing rehearsals.

Both sides, while one far

more favored by

the outside, each create their

own reality.

The artist’s eye, trained to look

and feel, often

too indescribable for most,

offers insight into the world behind the stage.

Yet set back, out of context and unattached,

the eyes are deceived

by pearly white tulle

and limelight paired with godly acts.
