Flying would make them free. In his enthusiasm, after taking flight Icarus got too close to the sun, as a result of which the heat melted the wax that held the feathers on his back and he ended up falling into the sea and drowning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the course of history, a liaison has been forged between human beings and the sky; between the desire TO FLY and the physical and symbolic meaning entailed by flying. As a result, flight brings together contrary and complementary elements: the eternal and ascending as opposed to the perishable and descending, the hope and distress in the act of learning to fly and thus rising or plunging to the ground; life and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur desire TO FLY responds to our need  to move one place to another, although we very often plunge into an abyss, as did Icarus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo become airborne — that’s where the poetry lies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Irene Zottola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56898846720382,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/icaro-5840645.jpg?v=1773753025"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/collections\/irene-zottola-5519698.png?v=1773755663","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/en-us\/collections\/irene-zottola.oembed","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
