Icarus, 2019, digital art, 11 x 17 inches
The definition of epoch is described in the urban dictionary as, “A period of time in history or a person’s life, typically one marked by notable events or particular characteristics.” There are many moments in legends or history people can draw inspiration from. When I heard the definition for the noun, the first legend that came to mind was Icarus. I became invested in the myth after I heard how it can be used as a metaphor for characters that try too hard to reach their goals, but fall in the end. Icarus serves as an important lesson to remember.
