The figure is captured at the precise instant when balance gives way to flight. One heel presses firmly into the stacked base, grounding the body just long enough for the rest of it to release.
The opposite leg lifts cleanly into the air, carrying both momentum and lightness, as if the body has momentarily forgotten its own weight. This contrast between anchorage and lift gives the sculpture its unmistakable sense of motion.
The torso twists naturally, following the logic of the game rather than a posed ideal. Nothing is exaggerated, yet nothing is static. The arm extends with measured reach, the wrist relaxed but alert.
The racket, shaped from the same iron wire as the body, becomes a continuation of the limb rather than a separate object. At its edge, the small suspended ball meets the frame, fixing the split second where anticipation turns into action.
What is remarkable is how convincingly the artist translates the rhythm of badminton into metal. The iron wire, wound and layered, records the energy of the movement rather than freezing it.
Every curve carries tension, every line suggests follow-through. The sculpture does not depict a game in progress; it embodies the sensation of play itself, where speed, control, and instinct converge in a fleeting, decisive moment.
