According to DeWitt, "My series on the 1992 Barcelona Dream Team consists of twelve full-body portraits at each player's true height-a physical record of excellence. At the Barcelona Olympics, the court became a stage where America showed its ingenuity and charm, and its reach. Their dominance marked a turning point: the game traveled faster than policy, and basketball became a global language. What began as an exhibition of superiority turned into a two-way exchange. Other nations learned the game, reshaped it, and now compete with us on equal terms."

"When I was ten, those players felt like gods. Their posters were on my walls, cards in plastic sleeves, and I wore out my driveway hoop trying to be taller. That childhood awe still lives inside the work."
