THE FALL AND RISE

FAILURE IS NOT THE END

The belief that failure is final is a self-imposed prison. With THE FALL AND RISE, I invite you to shatter this illusion and reimagine whatfailure could become.

The myth of Icarus is often told as a cautionary tale. Icarus, a citizen of Crete, defied his father Daedalus’s warnings and flew too close to the sun with waxen wings. The heat melted them, and he plummeted into the sea - a tragic symbol of ambition punished by the gods. But the story ends too soon.

In this reimagining, Icarus’s fall becomes a transformation. The vast, unyielding ocean does not destroy him; it cradles him, baptising him into a new state of being. Failure ignites rebirth, dissolving limits and opening the path to renewal. To rise, we must first fall.

Failure is the beginning.
