Description
Daedalus created two sets of wings for himself and his young son Icarus, by using feathers and gluing them together with wax. He gave one of the sets to Icarus and taught him how to fly. However, he warned him not to fly too high as the sun would melt the wax. Unfortunately, Icarus, forgetting his father's advice, started flying higher and higher, thus causing the wax on his wings to melt; he fell into the sea and drowned.
This image is created with the feel of melting wax, high in the sky, full of color.
