This a collaborative piece between Nygilia and Beatsbyholly. The artwork reflects the beauty, innovation, experimentation, and imagination of what basketball culture brings to London. In the summer of 2019, I helped train and teach at a youth basketball camp in West London. During that time, I got to learn and understand the complexities of running a club.
There is a lack of funding overall and resources for sport compared to the USA. Not only is this piece dedicated to the energy of the players, but also to remember a young player who lost his life to a knife crime. Basketball brings hope to many voices. We must do better to protect their dreams and stay vigilant. RIP Ali.
The artwork was created using Machine Learning, Touch Designer, Adobe, and Photomosh.
