Continuing an abstraction series based on basketball court schema while expanding into representational renderings of these courts as the invention and dominion of non-Western peoples. Morro Bay, California becomes the historic site of the first Filipino basketball court of the Americas at the sunset of empire.

The series title refers, but is not directly related, to the darkly funny Álvaro Enrigue book of the same name. Exhibited at Silverlens NY in ‘Galleon Trade,’ an exhibition on the intertwined histories of the Philippines, Latin America, Spain and the United States.
