Le Rêve de Ballet
by Shine Vickery

A dream in motion, "Le Rêve de Ballet" captures the delicate rhythm of life through a tapestry of blue and white porcelain — a pattern composed of millions of ballerinas, both modern and historical, gracefully merging Chinese tradition with Western elegance.

At the top, a solitary ballerina embodies the beauty of sadness and hope. Her posture speaks the truth of life’s dance — its highs and lows, its joy and melancholy, all brushed into one expressive figure.

The middle tier reveals ballerinas layered in motion, evoking the effort behind the performance. These forms represent the unseen hours, the repetition, the perseverance — the beautiful struggle behind every fleeting moment on stage.

In the background, thousands of tiny ballerinas form a flowing mosaic. They represent the seemingly insignificant experiences that, together, shape our path. Each one a step, a memory, a necessary note in the symphony of chasing a dream.

This artwork is a reflection of discipline, emotion, and timeless beauty — a poetic homage to the universal language of ballet, and the quiet power of persistence.
