Original artwork description:

Poem that accompanies this artwork:

Love & Basketball by Chrissiefizz

"You gripped me like that ball
All ten fingers, holding me tight.

When you let go,
I dropped, bounced
Right back to where I belonged

I cheered for you
From the front of the stands
As you dodged and blocked and ran

Drenched in your own water, you embraced me,
I squirmed, you were soaked
But I still love you all the same."

Inspired by the movie 'Love and Basketball' and liked on Instagram by favourite writer/director Gina Prince-Bythewood, this painting was painted to represent the highs and lows of love.
