O desafio do Ícaro:
Para entender o sentido irracional deste corpo, tente repetir o efeito visual do gesto com qualquer corpo natural.

The Icarus Challenge:
To start understanding the essence of Icarus body, just try to repeat his gesture and torso movement in front of a mirror. No matter how your body is different from him, just try it and observe your reflecting image. Compare what you saw in the mirror to Icarus expression.
To make a more accurate comparison, take a picture of a male friend with body features close to Icarus repeating the sculpture pose. Do it. See the visual result you've achieved. And then, tell me what did you learn with this simple experience.
