One has only to take a closer look at the dancers, whose bodies are tense and focused on every movement. Each picture depicts a real battle of mental and physical states, as if a freedom-loving spirit is fighting a decaying body. As a result, a real explosion of emotions arises, the wave of which overwhelms the audience. It is simply impossible to take your eyes off Simon Birch's painting.
