Beauty. Grace. Strength. Dynamics. Power. Will.
What images come to your mind with these words?
Are they images of people? ... Or are they images of wild nature?
And what if one doesn’t exclude the other?
•Think about horses… Beautiful, once being wild animals, whose beauty and grace you admire. Tight muscles, heavy breathing, incredible speed. Spontaneous power, don’t stay in its way. Nevertheless, these beautiful animals were tamed and we can communicate with them, admire them and observe what miracles of discipline they can show us. With all the wildness of their energy, these beautiful creatures come into contact with man.
•And now think about the ballet dancers… Years of grueling workouts. Mind that took total control over the body, and discipline that perfects the dancer every day. A technique that enclothes the energy of the body in refined movements. The speed of movement is on the verge of the possible. Total dedication to their work, deep immersion. Will that forms consciousness. Consciousness that forms the body. And despite the fact that they are so different - how harmonious they look next to each other. What is it that units them? It is the grace of the physical body, from which it is impossible to take your eyes off. It is unlimited strength and potential. It is the ability to bring yourself to the limit, to run to the edge of their capabilities and never stop.
But their similarities doesn’t end with physics. Despite all the social constructs, all the restrictions that have been imposed on humans for thousands of years in society - the essence of the wild animal remains inside us. This is the will, this is the impulse for freedom, this is the need for development of speed, the return of energy to the outside. Man has developed the ability to splash out his energy, his emotions into motion - violent, fast, amplitude. Just like wild horses, that rush with all their might into direction known only to them, people are free and beautiful in their movements. See how harmoniously people and horses look in a picture. This is not a coincidence. This is a resonance between the nature of man and animal. Which, in fact, is ONE.
