The work "Push/Pull" circles around the question of how to fill the gap between an ideal and the reality. While an artist tries to fill this gap with intellectual, poetic and conceptual artworks, bodybuilders or athletes try to conform their bodies to specific (ancient) ideals. These Incredible effort to run after a goal, using the strategy of repetition, which cannot or just partly be achieved because it might be an idealized idea, is for me romantic and tragic at the same time.
