My work was inspired by the quote “The union is only perfect when all individuals are isolated.” This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson captures the aspects of social psychology and group behavior that sparked my desire to create this work. My inspiration was drawn from my observations of the delicately subtle and fascinating interweaving between conformity and individualism in people. The dancers embody the emotional, social, and psychological differences between acting as part of a union and acting as an individual.
