‘Rico exists in the moment before a fight, in the quiet, calm determination of a fighter, the calm before the storm. The play of light and shadow allows the fighter’s body to speak of his strength, presence, and mental resilience. Rico is a rising star in Muay Thai fighting in Cork. This portrait is part of the series Grace & Fury, which explores the world of fighters and dancers.’

Rico, 2025

Grianghraf 

‘Tagann Rico inár láthair sa nóiméad roimh throid, nóiméad ciúin, ina léirítear diongbháilteacht shocair an trodaí, ciúnas roimh anfa. Baintear tairbhe as solas agus scáth chun deis a thabhairt do chorp an trodaí a láidreacht, láithreacht agus teacht aniar meabhrach a léiriú. Tá Rico ag teacht chun cinn mar réalta na trodaíochta Muay Thai i gCorcaigh. Baineann an phortráid seo leis an tsraith Maorgacht & Deargbhuile, ina scrúdaítear domhan na dtrodaithe agus na ndamhsóirí.’
