THE SHOW MUST GO ON

A dancer in motion: embodying resilience amid upheaval. The inverted cityscape and upward-flowing white drips symbolize a world turned upside down, yet the dancer remains poised and luminous. Lotus flowers float around her, evoking transcendence and spiritual awakening, while a singular white and gold bloom hints at joy and new beginnings. A small elephant anchors the composition, representing strength and resilience. Words for bravery, compassion, hope, and victory in Sinhala script weave in faintly, underscoring a message of perseverance, hope and grace under pressure. Part of a broader series with the theme hope- the dancer knows that this turmoil too shall pass.
