“Melted Wings” is a piece that embodies the regret of something you once had. The ability to fly is full of freedom, but nothing is more limiting than when it is taken away. This editorial brings out the emotions of a bird with clipped wings, and is inspired by the myth of Icarus where a young boy ignores warnings and flies too close to the sun, melting his beautiful wax wings. After plummeting to the ground, the being with wings but no ability to fly resents the sun for their misfortune, but the sun remains at a higher place, unmoved by the small being below that yearns to be on the same level.
