Victor Issa’s “Dianna” is a Full-size, Nude Sculpture of the Roman Goddess
Will someone also “touch” this sculpture by Victor Issa? Will anyone be “caressing” Diana? How “interactive” is this sculpture? What is the meaning? Will the leaders of our church also thank Victor Issa for this work? Here is the full-size, completely nude sculpture of Diana, the Roman goddess. The Greeks worshipped this same idol and called her Artemis. This is not our interpretation; Victor Issa calls this sculpture Diana and Artemis.
My Venus was a nude woman owning her breasts and her vulva andmy nude woman became a Venus, a goddess of love owning multiple orgasms,crying Oh, God with women crying Oh, Godas their ocean dripped from my mouth.Nude Woman. Venus. And then she became Mother, my Self,and I birthed the world.Venus of Willendorf, in your little house in Vienna,With the red light and the music that turns on when you are visited.When the museum shuts down in the night, I wish everything for you.
