French artist Edgar Degas's world-famous fourteen-year-old ballerina has become a rebellious teenage girl under the care of Brit Ryan Gander. She's fallen from her pedestal, thrown away her tutu, and is searching for her own path in life. At Museum Beelden aan Zee, she giggles with a friend, smokes, lies languidly on the floor, bored stiff, hides, or, conversely, looks eagerly toward her future.
