Footnote: Contemporary Lebanese American sculptor, Victor Issa, is renowned for his uncanny ability to transfigure cold metal into sculptures that appear to be living, breathing, sentient beings; warm of blood and soft of skin. His works, known as ‘living bronzes’, have been exhibited throughout the United States and are held in private and public collections across the globe. In addition to his nudes, Issa, who draws inspiration from his Adventist beliefs, is also known for his large-scale liturgical works.
