Volata Magazine
Volata is a Spanish cycling magazine, and for issue 26 the theme was lucha, the fight. The editors describe effort as something hard to measure but visible in every grimace, so I started from the idea that the biggest opponent in cycling is not another rider.
The cover shows a single cyclist, very small, climbing a dirt road squeezed between enormous walls of red rock. The mountain fills the frame, warm and textured, while the rider is just a few dark marks on a cold violet track. It is a fight he is already losing in size, and he keeps pedaling anyway.
