Its symbolism is based on the resurgence of the city after the flood of 1957. The local press, given the abstract nature of the sculpture, reported with these words on the meaning of the work: “offers a current version of the famous Samothracian Nike. With the characteristic technique, this prestigious artist has formed a new form and modes of sculpture: the iron part represents the thorax with its wing, and the pedestal, which for the first time forms a continuous part of the statue, the legs and the hip in an attitude of advancing, thus symbolizing the victorious revival of Valencia after the flood of 1957”.

On November 21, 1997, it was agreed to award by contract to Marbles Valmar S.L. to supply the limestone of the land necessary for the restoration of the base of the monument.

The author of the work is Antonio Sacramento.
