Image Description
Amid the darkness, a deep sense of introspection prevails: Otar Kiteishvili, Sturm Graz’s midfield playmaker, stands at the penalty spot. The title of the work, “In Manus Regis” (Latin for “Into the Hands of the King”), symbolizes the absolute authority and solitary responsibility the “King of Graz” carries in this decisive moment.
His closed eyes reveal complete inner calm and unwavering determination.
The striking backlight surrounding him is more than illumination; it is a symbolic echo. It represents the concentrated energy of his teammates, their steadfast belief, and the thunderous crescendo of the cheering fans.
This collective force gathers into a bright current rising upward along his jersey. At the exact point where the inclusion message “SK Sturm is a club for everyone” is embossed in Braille, the light becomes strongest. The energy that powers the shot is therefore the promise of community and unity.
His shadow stretches long before him — the weight and expectation. Yet amid this tension, one detail remains unwavering: a slender, focused beam of light falls precisely onto the ball. It serves as a fixed directive, a certainty that seems to trace the trajectory in advance.
In this silent second, more than just the match is decided — here, energy becomes resolve, and collective hope transforms into solitary action.
