“It is a reminder that no matter what dis- comfort you’re feeling, it’s a temporary feeling. … Life is just full of those occasional really uncomfort- able moments and this tattoo is a reminder that it’s a temporary situation and through this discomfort, you’re going to grow.”

“The dance that this came from is Comrad in the 2017-18 session. … It was my first time choreographing something that I really really loved. This is part of the dance, the middle of the dance, that I traced.”
