Description

Inspired by a mix of Hindu art and Cirque du Soleil. I wanted to get across a feeling, rather than a solid concept.

The title is from my favorite song on Cirque du Soleil's Varekai soundtrack. You can probably guess, but it translates to "The Pendulum".

I LOVE Cirque du Soleil. It has been a true inspiration in my life for my love of acrobatics and sweet, beautiful music. The stories that are wound within Cirque du Soleil are magical.
I love the details of this scene, especially with the bells and the ribbons. The figure gives an astounding performance, and the background is so lovely.
The details of the background are simply amazing, and the colors are awesome. It would've been dull with less than three colors. You nailed this picture and the performance. I encourage you to do more. Keep up the good work.
