This art piece by Vik Muniz is called Edson (Péle). Péle is a legendary Brazilian footballer which may provide insight as to why Vik Muniz created this piece. The portrait was created in 2003 and was apart of Muniz' series called Pictures of Magazines. This was the fifth of six pieces in the collection. I believe that he was innovative in using the chips collected from hole punching magazines to create his artwork. Vik Muniz' artistry is easily depicted through this piece of art.
