The Queen Victoria Memorial, which is standing in the centre of
the Queen’s Gardens in front of Buckingham Palace is a memorial
to Queen Victoria, the longest reigning monarch in British history.
Inspired by this memorial, Marco Sousa created ‘Victory’, a golden
mirror inspired by the gilded winged victory at the top of the
memorial, the goddess of victory. The breaks around the mirror
characterize the failures of the monarchy always acting as divine
and indispensable to their life, as a sun, which is represented in the
center of the mirror outlined by points. These points symbolize
the long fight that the Queen had, in order to achieve a period of
prosperity and great deeds. This mirror is a memorial to the struggle
that the Queen had against the flaws of the monarchy, representing
its immortality, wealth and power.
