Color Photograph of a Balinese Ceremonial Dancer, "Condong Dancer I"

Looking straight into the lens of Balinese photographer Rudy Adnyana, a condong (attendant) performs the intricate finger patterns of the Legong dance. Adnyana shares the richness of his culture with this color photograph on laminated paper, for the Legong is a millenary dance that can only be performed by girls as young as four years old, for it is meant to be performed by girls who have not yet reached puberty.
