‘We Can Jump’ is the second piece in my Pride Month 2026 Series. It’s a tribute to every LGBTQ+ athlete who has had to fight for their spot on the court and in society. We are here, we are strong, and we are soaring.
"We Can Jump" is the second installment in the Pride Month 2026 Series, exploring the dynamic intersection of LGBTQ+ identity and the world of competitive sports. This piece features a powerful Asian athlete in a moment of peak performance, frozen mid-air during a jump shot. Clad in shorts saturated with a spectrum of rainbow paint, the subject stands as a symbol of the vibrant energy and physical prowess that the queer community brings to every arena of society.
The title "We Can Jump" is a defiant statement against the "glass ceilings" and societal stereotypes that often attempt to sideline LGBTQ+ individuals in athletics. By capturing the raw strength of the human form against a grounded, autumnal backdrop, the artwork illustrates that pride is not a passive state, it is an active, soaring force. It celebrates the courage it takes to be authentically yourself while navigating traditional spaces, proving that our community doesn't just participate; we excel.
