Behind the grace captured in this image and the lightness symbolized by the ribbon lies the true story of "Katja" Katerina Luschik.
It's the silent end of a dream. The image shows a young gymnast whose body radiates the grace and lightness of sport. But the pose in which she hides in the darkness tells a different story. The ribbon, meant to dance in the air and symbolize lightheartedness, becomes a protective shield. It's as if she's almost ashamed of not being able to withstand the relentless pressure.
Katerina's story is one of invisible wounds. She had to turn her back on sports, not because of an injury, but to save herself. Her story is a mirror for all those who put their heart into a sport that then begins to break them. The picture is a tribute to her strength and her painful but necessary decision to let go.
