Acrylic, silk, and liquid crystals
Location: mezzanine
Projecting into the station’s light shaft, a wing-shaped sculpture unfolds into infinite reflections on the mirrored surfaces. Inspired by Greek mythology, this work’s rainbow of colours evokes the aspiration of Icarus to fly ever closer to the sun.
