“Your Friendly, Neighborhood Activist”

4ftx 6ft
Pearce created this piece entirely out of basketballs, a nod to himself and his career in this self-portrait. Inspired by his favorite superhero Spider-Man’s Miles Morales, this piece represents Pearce prioritizing the world he lives in and how sports can shape that. Further showing his identity is not limited to just a basketball player. Pearce’s promise to himself was that he would never disregard his humanity for the entertainment of sport.

“Legacy is Timeless”

4ft x 6ft

This piece highlights the power of legacy. Muhammad Ali made an indelible mark on what it means to be an athlete and an activist. His legacy as a boxer has compounded his impact as an activist. This piece addresses the calls for a Muhammad Ali statue to be erected in his birthplace of Louisville, Kentucky.

In 2017, a petition to dismantle a confederate monument in town and replace it with a statue that honors Ali began to circulate. This shows a legacy of impact and service will ultimately outweigh the legacy of oppression — solidifying a timeless legacy.
