“Still Standing”
This piece is crafted out of a collection of spare mannequin parts, Maxwell’s first owned WNBA hoodie, a cape, and a golden megaphone. Once assembled, it represents the power and resilience of the Women in the WNBA as a collective. The arrows sticking out of the body of the piece symbolize the racism, hyper-masculinity, and misogyny that they are constantly assaulted with. The chain represents their struggle to close the pay gap and expand due to lack of media coverage among other oppressive league regulations. And yet despite all of that, they are the leaders of all athletes and leagues around the world in the fight against social injustice.
