'Aporia' is a Greek term of contradiction and opposing truths. In this line, it reflects the paradox of aspiration and transcendence through mortal figures Icarus and Psyche. Icarus evokes ambition and fragility with a nod to his craftsman father and wing maker’s hands. The wings, rigid and melting, betray his aspirations, limited by mortal reach. Beside him, Psyche radiates ethereal grace, floating in the delicate iridescent wings of transformation—an ode to the luminous rebirth of the soul.
