Ali X Rodin
Muhammad Ali in a pose similar to The Thinker of Rodin.
Close up of the face
Ali's torso and legs
Looking up to Ali as if looking up to a skyscraper
Ali. thinker. fighter.
Ali sits like Le Penseur, gloves discarded.
Beyond the arena, Muhammad Ali carried the weight of principle.
He paid for it — years taken from his craft.
Olympic gold for his country. Denied a seat at a restaurant.
Muhammad Ali is an icon in my new series Gladiators. A series about athletes who fight where no medals are won.
With Gladiators, I want to turn icons into mirrors — reflections of strength, fragility, and endurance. Captured in paint. Together, they spell one truth: the weapon does not give strength, the wound does.
