Marissa Carson - Achilles' heel

Artist Statement

Truly I am the definition of this theme. From a young age, because of my family history, I have been a perfectionist. Thinking that it would make people love me, however that was the opposite. In piano lessons, if I hit a wrong note I would then hit myself. If my grade fell, I would cry. The idea of me being perfect was my achilles’ heel. Dance is the one place where I have taken my mistakes and imperfections and made them into something beautiful. Thank you for this theme, it truly has shown me how much I have grown.
