The Quiet After the Dance
In a moment suspended between performance and rest, the ballerina sits barefoot on the worn floorboards, one pointe shoe dangling from her fingertips. Sunlight streams in, illuminating the dust and the delicate curve of her spine. Her expression is serene, introspective—perhaps recalling the grace of a pirouette or the weight of a leap. The studio, with its aged brick walls, holds the echoes of her movements. This is not just a portrait, but a meditation on dedication, vulnerability, and the quiet strength behind the art of ballet. Photographer Galina Zhizhikina captures the soul of the dancer beyond the stage.
