Anatomy / Dance Class 101 is a 36 x 48 inch torn paper collage that merges the energy of dance with the study of human anatomy. Built from layered fragments of paper, the composition reveals figures that appear both expressive and partially transparent, with muscles, skeletal forms, and body structures emerging through the surface. Limbs stretch across the canvas in choreographed motion while overlapping textures create a sense of movement, tension, and physical intensity. Rather than idealizing the body, the work explores it as a complex and vulnerable instrument, balancing grace with structure and reflecting the shared discipline of dancers and anatomists in understanding how the human form moves and expresses emotion.
