“When at all costs” consists of portraits (sculptural, video, and sourced photos) of seven Black athletes from 1988-Present day. As a child, the allure of the famous Black athlete encompassed a lot of household conversations and would spill into the beauty shop on the covers of Jet and Ebony Magazine . The constant need to represent and succeed shows with each swing, stride, and upward gaze into the crowd. What country are you representing on your back when you make that victory lap? What will you do to be “twice as good”?
These questions are not foreign to any Black person regardless of athleticism, but more so focus on what/who gets seen and at what costs.
