In the centre a bright, blue light illuminates the image with dancers running across the centre space. 3: Two dancers embrace closely against a dark background, with one dancer’s arm reaching upward while the other holds them around the waist. Their restrained expressions and intertwined bodies create a sense of intimacy and emotional tension.

  17. 1: An image of a dancer standing on one leg wearing a blue shirt, black vest, black trousers and socks. The image is taken on a stage under stage lights, with a series of shadows being cast that flow outward from the image. The dancer, in an ambiguous position, is facing away from the audience through a twist in the spine. Their arm is swung up toward the top of the image, with the palm of their hand facing the audience. The rest of the body cascades down from the palm of the hand. The dancer is strawberry blonde and short. The background of the image is mostly black with a grey floor. 2: In a dark atmospheric setting, a seated figure turned to the back, on the edge of a small circle of light with faded edges - only visible is the back of a white, loose shirt and a gesture with the arms is hidden in the dark. A microphone lies on the floor and a few marks of the performers sweat are seen in the light. 3: A woman wearing a white wedding dress runs in the middle of a quiet street. She is holding the skirt of the dress and looking backwards. There is a sense of freedom, with a hint of uncertainty.
