Artwork Description:
The Athlete distills the anatomy of command and subordination, mapping the human form through a lexicon of geometric hierarchies. The head, rendered in triangles, presides over a torso of squares, a pelvis of pentagons, and limbs articulated by octagons. Nowhere is the architecture of strength and its attendant rules more visible than in the arena of sport, where the body becomes both symbol and instrument of power.
