Icarus VIII

Here, Icarus’s path is represented by a fluid, almost wave-like form, suggesting a graceful and unbroken ascent rather than a fall.

This piece, Icarus VIII, reflects a contemplative and abstract portrayal of the Icarus story, embodying a journey that defies traditional interpretations of the myth. Here, Icarus’s path is represented by a fluid, almost wave-like form, suggesting a graceful and unbroken ascent rather than a fall. This flowing shape evokes movement and continuity, emphasizing the journey itself rather than any specific destination or end.

The rounded forms—spherical, smooth and distinct—add a deeper layer of symbolism. These spheres may represent various stages or markers along Icarus’s path. They could symbolize moments of reflection, growth, or the different dreams that we all pursue in our individual journeys toward light and freedom. Each sphere is self-contained and whole, yet together, they form a collective energy that complements the wave-like path.

The lavender and earthy hues in the glaze bring a sense of calm and quiet strength. The choice of these colors softens the myth’s intensity, presenting Icarus as a symbol of inner exploration, peace, and the enduring pursuit of freedom. This Icarus doesn’t confront tragedy but rather invites us to embrace the beauty of seeking—a reminder that life’s journey is filled with moments of both contemplation and transcendence, captured by the circular forms that echo cycles and continuity
