I am interested in the images dichotomies: The figure that gains her de facto autonomy by failing to keep in synch with her peers, by allowing expressions of pain to break her camera-ready smile along with the athleticism and skill of the girls' bodies and the constraining and objectifying costume. Their simultaneous empowerment is reflected in the figure, their objectification is echoed in the ceaseless repeating of the figure in the decorative patterning.
