Victoria Weiss

2019

Artist Victoria Weiss woke up one early morning and created these female characters based on symbolism and culture: the energy of a Gazelle able to outrun panthers and cheetahs; a cat, harking back to Egyptian cultures that treated felines like gods for protecting their owners; and third, a Chinese opera mask, elevating Chinese folk stories to high art. These three women characters are like villains of the night slaying demons and transforming their businesses and community. Found on the rear wall of Homeland Contracting’s building, most appropriately owned by three powerful women.
