Icarus Moonward: A Self-Portrait

Description

This conceptual self-portrait takes the form of a fragile bird suspended between ascent and exposure. Captured entirely in-camera, it explores the tension between creative ambition and personal vulnerability, where the wish to soar meets the weight of the material world. Framed by cirrus clouds, the moon and the passing silhouette of a gannet, the image becomes a meditation on transcendence, distance and the dreamer’s inevitable fragility.
