For Runner, the artist wanted to "show the inner life under a rigid surface, making that energy and motion perceivable".[4] Oya Eczacıbaşı, chair of the museum's board, said: "We are honored to receive this sculpture as a long-term loan ahead of the opening of our museum's new building. I believe that this sculpture by Cragg, an artist whose works attract curiosity and interest from every generation, will become one of the symbols of Istanbul Modern's new building."[3]
