Artist Statement
Every time I watched Alcaraz on the court, he always had a smile on his face, but recently, I realized not so much. After watching so many games, I began to reflect on my own. Understanding their level of stress that came with each game, the expectations, the money, and entertaining the crowd. Those all started to sink in as I realized how much it has changed because he was now one of the big 2 and the best in the world. The pride but also the sacrifice that he had to make. Through this work, I wanted to demostrate has two sided emotion, the one off court and another one the court. Just through the facial expression, there's nothing to hide, I wanted to demostrate the varying emotions but also how facial expressions are hard to fake. Even with someone who smiles every time.
