The artist presents the classical hyper-masculine representation of the male in Western art, as a symbol of heroism and power. She responds with these radical images of three contemporary boxers, jutting out of cakes, like trophies. The clothed central figure portrays another common male image, that of the religious men who profess to be the saviors of faith.
