Blue Ballerina reinterprets Brother Joseph McNally's swan sculpture through the lens of femininity, transforming the swan sculpture into a wearable work of art. For the artist, swans embody elegance and grace, reminiscent of ballerinas and their ability to convey emotions through movement. The wearable art creation seeks to encapsulate the essence of a ballerina's tutu adorned in hues inspired by swan sculpture. Through the flowing materials and motion, the artist aims to convey the timeless elegance and grace of a swan.
