This artistic exploration centres on the myth of Icarus, seen as a metaphor for the inner conflict between the desire for freedom and the limits we impose upon ourselves. The labyrinth represents the complexity of the human psyche, whilst the Minotaur symbolises our fears and repressed impulses. Daedalus, the architect, embodies the creative spirit that seeks to protect, but also to control.
Icarus becomes the figure of aspiration – he yearns for autonomy and self-realisation, but his fall serves as a reminder of the dangers of hubris and blindness. The journey through the labyrinth thus becomes a quest for authenticity: only those who confront and come to terms with their shadows can truly attain freedom. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
