This piece has fascinated me since I began working on it in fall 2023. I've been exploring how ideas seem to pop into our minds from somewhere outside ourselves, almost like they're being sent from a deeper source – something Carl Jung might call the collective unconscious. There's a repeating theme of leaving what's safe and familiar to journey into the unknown. My first idea was to show Icarus being inspired to fly by a bird. The bird represents a messenger from a wilder, more mysterious world.
