“After attending several Bali dance performances, we had the opportunity to photograph one dancer performing in a dark environment to capture the movement of the dance on a still image. Balinese dance isn't just about elegant movements, colorful costumes, or rhythmic music. It is an intricate tapestry, interwoven with spiritual threads and deeply entwined in the Balinese Hindu Religion.”
