“Nike” 26” high, Colorado marble. Nike is the Greek goddess of victory, expressed as an avatar of Athena in some instances, and as a separate entity in others. Now more than ever the idea of victory is important. We face great challenges as a culture and often the mood I encounter these days is one of pessimism and anger. 
This rendition on Nike is a contemporary one, focused less on violence as a means of victory, and more on serenity, fluidity, and a clear gaze.
