An exquisitely layered excavation of the sunken lighthouse and her own Egyptian quest -- Anna Della Subin * TANK *
Ellie Ga's book 'Square Octagon Circle'... draws on and completes her 14-piece multimedia project of the same name, which includes performances, videos, prints, drawings, sculptures, and slide projection shows, with one clear aim: to find out what the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the long-lost seven wonders of the world, truly looked like. -- Max L. Feldman * Hyperallergic *
'Square Octagon Circle' draws on both science and mythology to create a multilayered contemplation of the seen and the unseen, knowledge and the unknown. -- Paul Maziar * Los Angeles Review of Books *
A winding journey of discovery between the slippery spaces of memory and history, mythology and fact, language and communication, and what is hidden and subsequently revealed. -- Lee Ann Norman * The Brooklyn Rail *
Square Octagon Circle draws from a larger body of work created during the artist's exploration of the Pharos Lighthouse and its submerged remains on a seabed off the Mediterranean coast. -- Emmy Catedral * BOMB *
Any moment in Square Octogon Circle has the potential to be a beacon foretelling and prompting Ga's next move. -- Emmy Catedral * BOMB *
