The sculpture represents Icarus - a figure from Greek mythology. Icarus was imprisoned with his father Daedalus on Crete. In order to escape from there, Daedalus glued feathers together with wax and built wings for himself and Icarus. They fled the island by flying. Because Icarus enjoyed flying so much, he flew too close to the sun - despite his father's warnings - so that the wax melted and he fell into the sea and died.
