Sport or war? Game or combat? Made from discarded household consumer goods and toys, 2 two fantastical 'Intergalactic Gladiators' size each other up. The iconographic pattern of a soccer ball, a reminder of the combative as well as the playful aspects of human nature, challenges the conglomerate waste relic of Zoraptera to a potentially lethal game.......however ......captives of the intergalactic space-time continuum, these adversaries seem condemned to remain forever locked in a state of frozen menace.
