Turning away….
This haunting sculpture is in the ancient city of Pompeii. It was created by artist Igor Mitoraj, and is one of 30 of his bronze statues displayed there. The art was planned in such a way that “Gods and mythological heroes will populate the streets and squares of the town that was buried by Mount Vesuvius. They will emerge like dreams from the ruins.” The visit to Pompeii is something I have wanted to do all my life, and was probably the most memorable part of my trip to Italy.
