Description
This is a edited photo of my painting "Pas de Deux. A Dialogue of Love", also posted here on FAA.
Pas de Deux- in ballet, is a dance duet in which two dancers, typically a man and a woman, perform ballet steps together. It is a dance of love, a dance of trust, where the man seems that controls everything. He picks up the woman. He turns her, stops her, and she must always go where he leads. The woman submits to all this completely. But her submission is not feeble. In fact, the only reason she can submit so utterly is because she is very strong in herself. She does not collapse, or cave, or stutter-step, or flop. No, she holds herself very consciously, very confidently. She is centered within her own weight. So the man always knows where she is. He can feel her.
I transposed this dance concept in flowers world. Red poppies- symbolize love. Two poppies flowers- man and woman duet. Their position- their dance. Love everywhere.
