The work was inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci’s flying machine called “Ornitopher” and Viladimir Tatlin’s work titled “Letatlin”. Studying examples in nature and combining the knowledge they acquired with artistic crafting methods, these artists aspired to add functional limbs to human body in order to gain the ability of flight. Although humans can travel by aircrafts today, they are still not capable of flying within the limitations of the body or by utilizing limbs that have become part of the body. This longing is visualized through a sculpture that includes motion. The work gets its name from a character of Greek mythology, Icarus, who didn’t give up despite conditions unfavorable for flying, and ended up failing nonetheless.
