Trampoline Color Exercise is a moving-image collage of leaping gymnasts whose uniforms and identities shape-shift as they flip and tumble on pink gridded trampolines. Created by manipulating aerial vantage points from archival broadcasts of Olympic Games footage, the artwork is a bird’s-eye meditation on the human form and the athletic pursuit of perfection. The mass of figures also reads as an abstract play of primary colors—a timely yet subtle nod to global national flags and fluctuating affiliations in an ever-changing geopolitical climate.
