The Greek legend of Icarus inspired María Eugenia Sánchez Cuevas, better known as Mena, to build this monumental sculpture. Icarus represents mankind's enduring dream of flight, and also of freedom. Flight is not just going from one place to another, but freedom of thought, of ideas, of expression.
