My senior year, a day before spring break, was when this picture was taken. I like the picture above, as it was a core memory of last year (for the Multicultural Show representing Mandarin Club). I love to dance, especially with my friends.
The red stands out from all the tones of different grays and blacks. With a few spots of white (mainly from the shoes and the shine from the light hitting most of my friend’s forehead). The only repetition is everyone’s outfit, shoes, and fans. Four of the girls (including me) wore black skirts and red tops; the others wore red skirts and black tops. Everyone wore different brands of white shoes (but still white shoes nevertheless), and all holding identical fans. Looking from afar, we arranged ourselves into a heart (or tried at least). There seems to be a space in the middle, but that’s because we were all trying to practice making a heart. The girl in the middle didn’t want to be the center of the heart– she wanted that empty space to represent everyone watching to be in that space. It’s like sending love and thanks to everyone watching our performance.
I want anyone who views this picture, to see our hard work and enjoyment onstage. A heart sending out to everyone in the audience. We’re smiling because we enjoyed dancing and performing on stage. For a few senior friends in that picture, we wanted to remember our last performance, and it’ll be forever cherished. And possibly the tiredness from our eyes, as we did perform throughout the school day and at night (starting at around seven pm to about eight or nine pm). All of our hard work– even if we’re clumsy (we all planned to face the fan bone side towards us instead of the audience, but a few ended up showing that towards the audience. But that’s alright! We all make little mistakes, but we all worked hard to show our best onstage).
