“Icarus Rising” Polaroid Photos
Icarus Rising polaroid lift photo art photos by Photographer Paul E Williams taken 1992 and reworked in 2022. Icarus Rising photos come from a polaroid animation of the same name made by Paul E Williams in 2020.
Based on the ancient Greek myth of Icarus who escaped with his father from Crete by flying. To achieve this his father Daedalus constructed from feathers and wax. Daedalus warned Icarus first against complacency and then of hubris. He instructed Icarus to fly neither too low nor too high, lest the sea’s dampness clog his wings or the sun’s heat melt them. Icarus ignores Daedalus’s instructions not to fly too close to the sun. His wings melted and he tumbled out of the sky then falling into the sea he drowned.
“Most of us try to fly too close to the sun, We believe that we are the centre of the universe and that the rules of our universe do not apply to us. These photos a reminder all of us that fly too close to the sun”. Paul E Williams 2021.
