Since art, as a German proverb says, is in the eye of the beholder, visitors to this gigantic sculpture may well be reminded of one of the heavenly hosts, perhaps even Saint Michael or another member of the exclusive circle of archangels (who, at least in our human imagination, occupy the highest rank within the angelic hierarchy). Or perhaps one might spontaneously think of Icarus, the hero of Greek mythology who desperately wanted to fly but flew too close to the sun, thus ending his tragic fate.
