Boxer is a sculpture inspired by a sport with deep cultural roots. Boxing is a way of transforming fighting into a ritual, of subjecting physical strength to a discipline with highly demanding rules. From ancient times right up until the present, boxing fights have brought together whole communities around an intense and vibrant event. A tough, difficult undertaking but one that also imposes equality and respect. In the ring, it does not matter where you are from or what your social status is; what counts is the skill and determination of the boxer.
