Created with soft pastels on museum-quality, heavyweight, acid-free sanded pastel
paper, this work depicts a young boy walking while dribbling a basketball, a book bag
slung over his back. Sunlight from the front casts his shadow onto a wall bearing a
mural of Michael Jordan. Known for redefining basketball and sports marketing, Jordan
became the first billionaire athlete a milestone symbolized by a painted crack in the wall
to represent breaking the ceiling. The boy’s shorts bear an emblem reading “Six Time
Champs,” honoring Jordan’s six NBA championships. The composition captures the
inspiration of a new generation looking up to a figure who not only dominated the game
but also expanded the possibilities for athletes in business and culture. The forward
movement, shadow, and layered symbolism reflect aspiration, achievement, and the
breaking of barriers on and off the court.
