The dancing form of Viktor Kee, composed within a tight baroque spiral, powerfully suggests the force of energy that propels this performer across the stage. Like a dancing flame, elusive and ephemeral, "Leap of Faith" breaks the bonds of gravity, and seems to twist and spring before our eyes. With a lightness that defies the substance of the bronze, the sculptor has given this figure a powerful athleticism, tempered by grace and wit. The blind-fold reminds us that Viktor's feats take courage and tremendous self-confidence: he is the embodiment of the power of faith in action. Balancing on a cube, we see that his will creates a second by second triumph over gravity -- "Leap of Faith" is the very essence of "living in the moment".
