“Victory Wings” is based on my own personal journey – but
one that I believe is universal. In my youth, I had a clear idea about where my
life path would lead me. However, through the arduous process of living, I have
landed in another place that was unexpected. However, I feel a strong sense of
the victory of accomplishment. Even though the wings of the sculpture are
broken and a bit rusted – and the sculpture is based on a dead, felled tree –
there is dynamic beauty in its transformation. C’est la vie.
