EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic tale of Daedalus and Icaros, two figures from Greek mythology. According to legend, in a desperate attempt to escape Crete, Daedalus ingeniously crafted wings made of wax and feathers for himself and his son. The concept of flight was brought to life through their invention, showcasing human ingenuity at its finest. In this portrait-like image, we see Daedalus and Icaros fitted with their magnificent wings. Their faces reflect determination mixed with anticipation as they prepare for their daring flight into the unknown. However, tragedy looms over this scene as Icaros' fate is sealed by an unfortunate accident. As the story goes, Icaros flew too close to the Sun despite his father's warnings. The intense heat caused the wax on his wings to melt away, leading to a catastrophic fall that resulted in his untimely death. This incident serves as a cautionary tale about hubris and the consequences of defying natural limits. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this legendary moment captured by an unknown creator. It evokes a sense of timelessness while emphasizing the gravity of this mythological event. Through this print, we are reminded not only of ancient Greek mythology but also how our desire for innovation can sometimes lead us down treacherous paths if not tempered with wisdom and humility.
