This is a solo dance piece titled Two Relationships, exploring the theme of “Youth.”

Inspired by the poem Youth by American poet Samuel Ullman, the work portrays two characters with starkly contrasting personalities—one strict, stubborn, and bound by rules, the other highly creative, open, and free.

These two characters represent different views and approaches to life, each embodying their traits with unwavering conviction and a reflective mindset.
