HOOP DREAMS & HOOP DREAMS REPRISE are pieces that explore the mortality of dreams. Throughout the making of these pieces the constant tag line was “my hoop dreams died a long time ago”.

Growing up where i’m from most people like me wanted to play a professional sport. No matter how realistic that goal was, it was a goal. At a certain point in most of our lives we had to confront the reality that some dreams have to die.

These pieces can also be seen as a commentary on the commodification of talent and the longevity of careers in sports.
