Flying Over Time Collection
Triumph, Mixed-Media and Acrylic on Canvas (Painted over an existing work), 2010, by Nova Hall. Provenance: Original Flying Over Time Art Collection. Exhibited at the Florida Lindbergh Dinner and multiple national locations. Note: Currently listed as stolen from Sun Studios during the anniversary show.

An intensely psychological work, Triumph fractures the ultimate symbol of American arrival. Painted directly over a hidden, pre-existing canvas under the guidance of Leandro Soto, the piece presents the Statue of Liberty shattered like a stained-glass window. Heavy, black assemblage lines splinter the canvas into geometric shards of vibrant violet and stark white. Trapped within these fragmented panes are authentic, historical photographs from the Donald A. Hall Estate Archive, capturing the Spirit of St. Louis and the men behind it. The artwork is a profound visual metaphor for the fractured nature of fame and memory—how a singular historical triumph is pieced together from dozens of shattered, forgotten perspectives. Deeply experimental and tragically stolen from Sun Studios in Tempe, it remains one of the most conceptually vital works in the collection.
