Icarus Falling reimagines the myth of Icarus as told in Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this version, Icarus ascends toward the Sun, and as he is consumed by the star’s brilliant light, the Sun erupts in a violent explosion. Using Unity’s ragdoll physics, a cascade of bodies, houses, trees, ants, clocks, trains, and brick-textured sculptures rains down from the sky, creating a surreal and chaotic descent.
