In order to escape from the labyrinth in which they had been imprisoned, Daedalus built wings for himself and his son Icarus. Flying, they would be free. Icarus' enthusiasm when he took flight caused him to get too close to the sun, the heat melted the wax that joined the wings to his back and he ended up falling into the sea, where he drowned.

Throughout history, a relationship has been established between the human being and the sky, between the desire to FLY and the physical and symbolic meaning it entails.

Thus a dynamic of contrary and complementary elements is produced in flight: the eternal and ascending versus the perishable and descending, the hope and anguish of the act of learning to fly and thus rise or fall to the ground: life and death.

It is desired to FLY to go from one place to another, although many times we fall into the void like Icarus.

To begin the flight, that is the poetry.
