EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic tale of Daedalus and Icarus, two figures from Greek mythology who dared to defy gravity. In this vertical panoramic shot, we are transported outdoors, under the bright light of day. The side view perspective allows us to witness a moment frozen in time - an upside-down scene that tells a story of both hope and despair. The image features young men alongside mature men, representing two generations bound by blood. A mother and her son stand at the center, embodying the essence of a family with one child. As they gaze towards the sky, their eyes meet the blazing sun that dominates the landscape. Artfully crafted with attention to detail, this illustration and painting transports us back to ancient Rome or Greece. The historical clothing worn by these characters adds authenticity to their portrayal. However, tragedy looms as Icarus flies too close to the sun using wings made of wax invented by his father Daedalus. The allegory unfolds before our eyes as Icarus plummets towards earth in despair while feathers scatter around him. Through this powerful visual narrative, we are reminded of humanity's eternal struggle against its limitations and how even great inventions can lead to misfortune when pushed beyond their limits. This timeless artwork serves as a reminder that ambition must always be tempered with caution for fear of falling like Icarus himself.
