Dan Christoffel
This sculpture explores the ancient “winged victory of Samothrace” in a contemporary three dimensional approach. The figure was created as a reaction to 9/11 when the social and national climate was at an emotional and spiritual low. Victory  represents my need to express a positive and hopeful view for the future. The sculpture symbolizes the strength that is needed to overcome our dismay and overwhelming sense of loss.
