In my concentration, I wanted to show how the disciplined study of ballet intertwines with all other aspects of my life. Despite me doing other things besides dance, my ballet practice eats up a large portion of my time. Sometimes ballet is gracefully integrated into my life, while other times it strangles other activities. The pointe shoe and ribbons represent ballet as they wrap around objects that I use every day. At some points, they are loosely wrapped; at other times, tightly strangling.
