Crafted in ceramics and finished in light blue tones, this piece captures a vision of boundless, limitless ambition.
The soft, airy blue glaze invokes the open expanse of the heavens, suggesting a pathway that rises endlessly.
The layered ceramic structure mimics the movement of wings in motion or waves cascading upward. Each layer, slightly tilted and varied in form, contributes to a dynamic yet harmonious flow, as if tracing the upward journey of Icarus himself. The light blue tones, gentle and ethereal, suggest not only freedom but a connection to the light he seeks, a reflection of the dreamer’s spirit that knows no boundaries.
In Icarus II, the standing, vertical form adds a sense of strength and persistence, emphasizing the courage it takes to rise. This piece invites us to contemplate our own journeys, urging us to reach higher, toward our own aspirations and the light beyond.
