Victory Over Death
Victory Over Death
3902
Original Series of 8
Bronze
This sculptural work is a visceral symbol of triumph over fear and mortality. Taking the iconic image of the shark popularised by Jaws as a representation of primal fear, Victory Over Death reclaims power through a physical, almost absurd act: kicking it to death.
Imprinted with the tread of Nike trainers, the work literalises the idea of "just do it" in a mythological sense, invoking Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. The shark, once a towering figure of terror, lies subdued beneath the marks of the artist's own feet. It becomes an altar of defiance brutal, immediate, and intimate.
In this piece, the impossible is reduced to the mundane. Death is not transcended but confronted and beaten on its own terms. The message is clear: no icon is too big to fall, no fear too great to overcome.
