Grounded is a diptych portrait series of students from Canada’s National Ballet School. Inspired by a quote from the author Vasyl Stus, “You must create yourself from your own burning heart”, it attempts to visually represent the drive in some to create personal identity through the Arts. In the case of ballet, it illustrates the levels of tension between the mythical and ethereal beauty of the form as seen in these young faces in contrast to the physical marks left on their feet.
