As Long as the Lights Are On Original Art

A bit longer. This isn’t about a match result or drama, but about the fact that, no matter what else is going on, someone is always playing somewhere. Training sessions, kickabouts, midweek fixtures; life continuing quietly under lights. People turn up in the cold, beneath imperfect floodlights, to keep something alive: habit, community, selfhood. There’s no crowd, no ceremony; just players moving through the glow as the night closes in. Framed by houses and trees, the game continues not for spectacle, but because it always has. Football played for as long as the lights are on. Recognition Shortlisted for The Football Art Prize 2026.
