The Closest it Gets
The Closest it Gets is a long-term body of work that tackles the myth of Icarus and, specifically, Edward Field's (1963) poem with the same name. Through the use of historical artworks such as "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" (c.1560) by Pieter Bruegel and an overexposed and oversaturated aesthetic, this modern interpretation of the myth comes to life. Images from the island Ikaria are combined with studio-based portraiture to enhance the mythical feel of these frames. Myths are pieces of writing aim to teach us basic lessons about our human condition and showcase either a way to overcome it or reasons why our behaviour is not practical. Getting your wings burned trying is better than looking up and wondering.
