Apoll-O-din

Feb 2014 

A statue of the god Apollo has been found in the sea at Gaza by a fisherman. The statue appears to be missing its left eye. 


 Odin is said to have traded the loss of an eye for magical wisdom.


This event had struck me because of the artist Daniella Valz-Gen had been talking about the feeling of something behind her eye, which was something I had also felt. This had culminated in a dream where she stabbed herself in the eye.
