Two fighters are locked in a moment of physical intensity—one striking, the other absorbing. Muscles tighten, bodies twist, and within this single frame, time seems to hold its breath. The circular canvas heightens the sense of enclosure, drawing the viewer into a world where force, focus, and fatigue converge. This is not just about sport or violence—it’s about the emotional weight behind confrontation. The red glove lands with purpose, but the deeper impact is not only physical. There’s something almost tender in the vulnerability of the figure who receives the blow—head lowered, body exposed, but still standing. The Impact explores the duality of strength and fragility. It’s about the roles we take on in conflict, the moments where control shifts, and how those moments leave a mark—seen and unseen. Whether read as a literal fight or a metaphor for struggle, the piece asks us to consider what it means to endure, to resist, and to respond.
