ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The legend of how Icarus and Daedalus escaped from the Cretan Labyrinth by crafting wings shows the creative side of technology. In contrast, the hubris of Icarus flying too close to the sun illustrates the down side of technology. For context, I included a stylized image of the Cretan labyrinth together with the figures of the Minotaur and Ariadne. Behind them, I added anachronistic landscape of industrial smokestacks, another example of the hubris of technology.
