“Ball Harder (vol. 2) By DOC®
Ball Harder is a “collection of art and inspiration” through the eyes of Dustin O. Canalin. Presented as a 44 page book & apparel offering, Volume 2 is crafted in the spirit of the Golden State Warriors dynasty run. However, at the core, “Ball Harder” is symbolic of pushing oneself towards greatness. ”
Artist Statement
Now more than ever, we are witnessing a shift in history. Our world is on pause, and we’ve been forced to re-examine what greatness actually means, not just on an individual level but within our homes and communities. While basketball has always been a recurring theme and metaphor in my work, “Ball Harder” is about uplifting one another towards excellence. Each piece is layered in stories of adversity and resilience- and the manner in which basketball was used as a vehicle for uplifting a teammate and community.
So as we reflect on champions for their achievements within their given sport, let’s also be champions for change & our positive contributions to the world. Thank you!
