Vic Muniz created Icarus, After Titan in 2006 and it belongs to his series labeled Pictures Of Junk. In this series he uses junk/garbage to create figures such as god/goddesses and even recreations of painting such as Caravaggio's Narcissus. When I zoomed in to see what materials he used I saw things such as mini-fans, wooden boxes, rusted chains, and different forms of screws. I chose this painting because I one, think it looks beautiful, and two I like that it reminds me of pointillism. I view it almost as a reinvention of pointillism. I also enjoy that he worked on this series with students from the favela when he was in Rio, Brazil.
