Training for a Different Fight
Painted during the Covid-19 pandemic, History repeats itself try and you’ll succeed imagines Daniel LaRusso training during quarantine, turning the fight against coronavirus into a new kind of karate challenge. The title echoes “You’re the Best”, Joe Esposito’s song from The Karate Kid, whose message of persistence gives the scene its determined energy.
Part of Pop Icons in Everyday Life, the work looks at how familiar characters and songs can enter real life and help us face uncertain moments. Here, a beloved training montage becomes a playful image of discipline, hope and the belief that practice can lead to victory.
