Description by the gallery owner

Daniele Accossato reinterprets the Nike of Samothrace. The statue in its original guise was created to commemorate the naval victory of the Rhodian fleets against the Seleucids. It is currently on display at the Louvre Museum.
In Daniele Accossato's version, the winged figure is depicted inside packaging. But why does the artist decide to desecrate this iconic figure? What is his goal, and what does he want us to reflect on?
The young sculptor wants us to question the problems inherent in the art sector. In particular, he highlights the age-old debate surrounding the commodification of our cultural heritage. His sculptures, in fact, are stuffed into packing boxes, hastily packed and ready to be shipped halfway around the world as if they were an Amazon package.
The entire container apparently recreates the look of Styrofoam. In reality, the work is made of plaster.
