In this series, the Winged Victory is used as a trope that draws on archeology as a metaphor for psychoanalysis (excavating the unconscious) to achieve catharsis. In a similar sense, the Winged Victory, particularly as she represents survival even in her fragmented state, remains a symbol of perpetual hope despite war and world turmoil. Historic precedent can be found in Delacroix’s “Liberty Leading the People”, 1830, and the U.S. “Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World”, 1886. Furthermore, stylistic influences reference visual artists Jim Dine and Jasper Johns as well as writers Italo Calvino and Garcia Marquez — with post-modern sensibilities that reflect on past, present, and future, all simultaneous and timeless.
