Danh Vo on the Timeless Beauty of the Ephebe of Mozia
Artist Danh Vo has expressed admiration for the ancient statue known as the Ephebe of Mozia, housed in the Museo Giuseppe Whitaker on the island of Mozia off Sicily's west coast. Vo describes the work as possessing timeless beauty, marked by fractures, mysteries, and surprising sensuality. He first learned of the statue from a friend in Sicily whom he often visits. Access to the island is complicated due to its location in a marsh and salt pan area with shallow waters; boats from Marsala do not operate when conditions are unfavorable. The article appears in Monopol magazine, which offers a free trial subscription.
