The view from the Fond des Princes, an area located on the outer edge of the stadium, served as inspiration for Jean Claracq. Instead of choosing one of the show courts, he decided to shine the spotlight on one of the lower profile courts.

This multi-faceted piece also seems to evoke the players’ solitude.
