A carefully crafted photograph depicts a professional dancer suspended in mid-air against a black background. Printed on satin-finish paper, the image is then drawn on by hand with white pigment ink.
Tanja approaches the process as a form of meditation. She allows each line to guide her, following it wherever it wants to go. The resulting texture is organic and dynamic, enveloping the dancer in a delicate embrace.
The dancer holds a pose that hovers ambiguously between tension and release. The figure appears as though it might be falling, yet the delicate lines surrounding the body create the impression of being held, suspended, or floating.
