Gliding across the ice, figure skaters Alexa Gasparotto and Nathan Chapple look like ribbons that have been released into a windstorm. Each movement is akin to the effortlessness with which a small band of fabric dances on the back of a breeze, painting a picture as it twists and turns through the air.
But Gasparotto and Chapple aren’t objects at the mercy of something as temperamental as the wind. They command their direction, motion and rotation in flight, making each second they paint the ice with their artistry all the more breathtaking.
