Battle under the hoop: Xiang Ni, Yu-Chung Ding, Tsung-Yu Tsai, Chien-Yi Wu

Whenever I watch the basketball game, besides the moment when the players shoot the ball into the basket, I particularly enjoy watching their bodies competing against one another. Whether the tall players use their advantageous height aggressively to elbow their way over their opponents, or the short players crouch low their bodies in order to use their full strength to withstand their rivals. It is the moment that is not only the combat between the height and skills but also the fight between their spirit and will power within which the spiritual warfare overcomes the basketball concepts and theories. It is beautiful to me in the instance. It feels like something that can be grasped during the battle. This is somewhat similar to certain stage of mind while making art.

“Battle Under The Hoop” is a kind creative state that the sensibility takes place before the knowledge which intends to evoke the audience to feel instead of to read when they look at art.
