This series is informed by a trip that DiIorio took to the Metropolitan Museum in NYC in 2021. This trip, which took place in the nearly deserted Greco Roman galleries shortly after the museum reopened from Covid lockdown, was a transformational one for the sculptor. He was inspired by the classical forms and sought to learn from them by recreating them in clay and plaster. "Marble statue of a crouching Aphrodite" and "Marble statue of Aphrodite crouching and arranging her hair" were the direct inspirations for this particular series. DiIorio has extended them beyond their fractured forms and given them movement via their hair. Although Classically-inspired, DiIorio's renditions are distinctly Modern.
