Position depicts Chris Boucher of the Toronto Raptors. With a direct gaze, the sitter is interacting with the “Red Line” to act as a physical disruption to the systems of oppression that historically exist and are being challenged in Shadrach's narrative. The clothing depicted in the painting calls to an era of the 1920’s, and are of a specific opulence and style that are indicative of accomplishment and influence. This thematically links to the role of many players within the NBA today. The pattern found in the background of the painting depicts a reimagined Raptors logo to reference historical textiles and wallpapers.
