AEC from the popular former duo Interesni Kazki published a couple of days ago a few images of his latest mural in Mexico City.
About The Mural
Titled “Icarus” and painted for The Beauty Project Mexico, the new mural depicts the myth of Icarus who helplessly falls from the sky. Probably making reference to heartless corporate power, AEC’s Icarus wears in this occasion a suit. His wings are on fire and as he falls head first into the void, he loses his briefcase and his human mask. He is not human, but rather a cold blue steel faced figure, a robot.
Unlike most of AEC’s usual imagery, the scene is presented against a dark and plain grey background. Maybe to highlight the meaning of his Icarus? Unfortunately he didn’t add any description to the wall this time, so I guess it is up to us to find meaning in it. What would be your interpretation?
