Icarus wanted to explore the freedom and joy of flight so fully that he ignored his father’s warnings. He flew too high and too close to the sun that the wax on his wings melted, the feathers burned and he came crashing down; but not before he managed to experience the freedom and exhilaration of the flight.
Icarus Ascending II can be seen as the spiritual aspect of Icarus, after the death of the mortal body now able to be completely free to ascend into the spiritual realms.
Never regret thy fall
O Icarus of the fearless flight,
For the greatest tragedy of them all
Is to never to feel the burning light.– Oscar Wilde
