Soldiers-of-Pieces

VICTORY

VICTORY

I am Victory. I rise from the bondage of the crates which contained the parts of chairs used in this art installation. Rescued from oblivion. Never to become an actual chair. These parts together celebrate the ingenuity of "Victory". So let our hearts and minds identify that we are one people. One face, one race - the human race - VICTORY!!!

THE SENTINEL

THE SENTINEL

I am The Sentinel. The first of the chairmen to arrive on the scene to declare that "Victory" is upon us! I stand as a beacon to the masses. Approach and stand with me. My truths, speak of peace, love and happiness. Listen closely because my thunderous words are spoken only in a whisper.

THE GUARDIAN

THE GUARDIAN

I am The Guardian. The perfect balance between compassion and protection, I am a tender, nurturing Soul. Place yourself in front of me, near my feet and reach your hands up. Now you are two years old, looking up at your parent for love, guidance and protection. Experience the protection I provide and step behind me because I’m poised and ready for battle. My hand is balled into a fist, on guard. I am here for “Victory”.

BROTHERLY LOVE

BROTHERLY LOVE

I am Brotherly Love. My heart is filled with compassion. With my ancient wisdom I heal. I will mend together these fragmented pieces of “Humanity".

THE SOUL MAN

THE SOUL MAN

As the Soul Man, I am eternity. Hands comfortably folded behind my back, I am patient not menacing. I will teach you that we should celebrate the life we do have. And from that life we must also respect that the Great Silence will follow. This is reflected in the my translucence. You never know when I will appear.

THE CREATOR & HUMANITY

THE CREATOR & HUMANITY

I am The Creator. I kneel down with Humility and love to liberate Humanity from the brokenness. My hands were masterfully crafted by the artist and show the healing power of touch. Peace soars through me in the shape of a Blue Dove which rests in my abdomen. The development of life is imminent.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Victory is the artistic expression of Steve Farland’s vision to spread healing. In its first phase of development, with the help of Master Builder/Artist Brian Sartor, the soldiers were brought to life limb by limb, foot by foot.
VICTORY

In its second breath of life, Steve now takes " Victory", the next chapter of Victory, on a coast-to-coast tour. His updated soldiers have been given new powers and armor to spread his wish for mending the universe. Now, you, too, can find peace and healing with help from Victory.

They inspire the human spirit to go forward through all diversity.

After you get over that initial shock... then you move into the genius of it... fashioned into these gigantic totems that make the world stand up and be counted,” they make us look. This is a metaphor that says there is a solution to the world problems we have... these broken pieces can be fixed and repaired and formulated into a whole recognizable body. That's what's so powerful about this exhibit. “the first work of its kind,”
