ARTIST’S REFLECTION
“There’s something otherworldly about the Man-O-War. It floats with the current, beautiful but untamed. I wanted to capture that balance of fragility and strength— something that reminds us of the ocean’s quiet, mysterious power.”
— J. Libro
Man-O-War - Signature Collection
CURATOR’S NOTE
Man-O-War captures the ethereal beauty and quiet power of one of the ocean’s most enigmatic creatures. Its flowing tentacles and graceful form evoke both elegance and a primal mystery.
John Libro’s masterful use of reclaimed driftwood transforms found pieces into a sculpture that seems to drift through space like the tides themselves—at once delicate and formidable, inviting both wonder and respect.
