Raymond Duye, "The Fleeting Life Cycle"
At first glance, the French artist's painting appears very simple and straightforward, but upon closer inspection, many questions arise that have no clear answers.
The painting has sparked much debate, with participants attempting to find the best interpretation of the plot.
The most heartbreaking part is the loneliness after the second turn. Others are most troubled by the moment between the centre of the composition and the second turn. Still others try to understand what happens between childhood and middle age.
ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO: "After the match ended and we won the World Cup, I left my teammates to celebrate with the precious trophy and went to see my club friend, Trezeguet. There were signs of sadness on his face. I tried to remind him that he was the one who gave his country the European Cup in 2000, and that these things happen in football. I comforted him a little, and then I headed to the French team's locker room to find my old friend Zidane. We shared an indescribable friendship. I went to console him and wish him better luck, especially after his departure in that manner.
In the tunnel that leads to the French team's locker room, I found him alone, with the bitterness of defeat and the red card in his heart. He was surprised by my visit, and the first thing he said to me was: 'Wow, how did you leave all that noisy celebration and come here?'
I told him: 'Joy won't make me forget my friend, the one I played with He hugged me warmly, took off his shirt, and gave it to me with a personal autograph, while telling me in Italian: 'Thank you, my friend. I'm happy for you. You're the best l've ever played with, and you really deserve this World Cup championship.'"

Proud and grateful, always.
Although I’m far away, my heart is still there. Thank you so much, Real Madrid.” 🤍
