Description
According to Greek mythology, Icarus, used the wings designed by his father Daedalus to escape from imprisonment. Ignoring Daedalus's warning, the young man flew too near to the sun; the wax with which the feathers of his wings were attached melted so that Icarus fell into the sea and drowned.
The young man dares to try 'Fall of Illusion', marble, Musée Rodinthe impossible and strives for freedom. The carelessness leading to his fall does not diminuish the grandiosity of his entreprise.
