A pair of boxing gloves bearing the inscription of Simmons' authorship becomes both object and artifact, merging the vernacular of sport with the weight of cultural and historical meaning. The work's title, *Everforward…(Neverback)*, evokes a relentless, one-directional momentum, suggesting resilience and struggle while hinting at the impossibility of retreat or return. Through this deceptively simple gesture, Simmons transforms everyday equipment into a meditation on race, perseverance, and the contested terrain of the Black experience in America.
