The Ride

Veronica and Edwin Dam de Nogales

This piece shows the bull and rider, the height and buck of his twist, rider leaning back with hand in the air, yet intensely focused on the bull and the horns beneath him – a short lived event that resembles gambling. The mental control and concentration of the bull rider is not dissimilar to that of a gambler.
