@views09 Iconic moment and great photo! I am currently working on a sculpture of Muhammad Ali that is about this knockout match. Much research helps to honor this champion of the ring.
He spearheaded the creation of the statue of Nina by @ZenosFrudakis and the construction of the Nina Simone Plaza in downtown Tryon, where her statue now sits. Without Crys, this beautiful tribute to the High Priestess would likely not exist.
"What artist so noble ... as he who, with far-reaching conception of beauty, in designing power, sketches the outlines, writes the colors...so great that Nature shall be employed upon it for generations, before the work he arranged for her shall realize his intentions."
- Olmsted
"Chciałem stworzyć rzeźbę, na na którą niemal każdy, niezależnie od pochodzenia, może spojrzeć i natychmiast rozpoznać, że chodzi o ideę walki o uwolnienie się.
Ta rzeźba jest o walce o osiągnięcie wolności... "
