This artwork captures a striking and surreal image of a classic electric guitar seemingly suspended against a backdrop of a vibrant blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The guitar, silhouetted in deep black, presents a stark contrast to the serene background, highlighting its sleek contours and iconic shape. The viewer's eye is drawn along the streamlined neck and the distinct body, invoking a sense of timelessness and musical nostalgia. The composition suggests a fantastical freedom, as if the instrument is defying gravity, symbolizing the transcendent power of music. The minimalistic yet bold presentation creates a compelling visual narrative, merging art and music in a sky-bound tableau. This piece's unique juxtaposition of the earthly and the ethereal invites reflection on the limitless possibilities of creativity.

Photography helps Kevin Krag to freeze in time he's one of a kind sculptures capturing the spiritual dimension, the vulnerability and mortality of his ephemeral pieces. Using ethically sourced archival photography cotton paper integrating another organic and sensual piece to the puzzle, standing the test of time and having the least possible adverse impact on the environment. Assembled guitars bodies & necks from rescued guitars (built by the artist). Creating the Ícara I was like an initiation. the work contains about 800 feathers and it has a very rock and roll feel as it reminds us of Lenny Kravitz’s love for feathers and boas. It also explores a rite of passage: leaving Buenos Aires, its music, its flavors and ultimately a remembrance, an homage to a dear Argentine singer-songwriter Gustavo Cerati, whose song “Tu cicatriz en mí” brings him back to Buenos Aires.
